Hadoop and Spark equivalents in major cloud platforms
While Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark are widely used in on-premises big data processing, major cloud platforms offer managed services that provide similar capabilities without the need to set up and maintain the underlying infrastructure. In this section, we’ll explore the equivalent services to Hadoop and Spark in AWS, Azure, and GCP:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS):
- Amazon Elastic MapReduce: Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) is a managed cluster platform that simplifies running big data frameworks, including Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark. It provides a scalable and cost-effective way to process and analyze large volumes of data. EMR supports various Hadoop ecosystem tools such as Hive, Pig, and HBase. It also integrates with other AWS services such as Amazon S3 for data storage and Amazon Kinesis for real-time data streaming.
- Amazon Simple Storage Service: Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is an object storage service that...
