Chapter 2: Exploring the Architecture and Deployment Options
This chapter will dive deep into the Elastic MapReduce (EMR) architecture. We will also look at the different deployment options it provides, such as Amazon EMR on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon EMR on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and Amazon EMR on AWS Outposts.

As we proceed to further chapters of this book, where we will cover different use cases and implementation patterns around EMR, an understanding of the architecture and deployment options will be a prerequisite.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- EMR architecture deep dive
- Understanding clusters and...
