Amazon EMR (Elastic MapReduce)

Amazon EMR (Elastic MapReduce) is a cloud-based service that makes it easier to process large amounts of data by using distributed computing. It allows organizations to run big data frameworks like Apache Hadoop and Spark without managing the underlying infrastructure. EMR automatically handles setup, scaling, and maintenance, enabling users to analyze data efficiently for tasks like data analysis, machine learning, and log processing. Essentially, it provides a flexible, scalable platform in the cloud to handle complex data workloads quickly and cost-effectively.
