Subject: Announcing Amazon Elastic MapReduce
Dear AWS Customer,
We are excited today to introduce the public beta of Amazon Elastic
MapReduce, a web service that enables businesses, researchers, data
analysts, and developers to easily and cost-effectively process vast
amounts of data. It utilizes a hosted Hadoop framework running on the
web-scale infrastructure of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
Using Amazon Elastic MapReduce, you can instantly provision as much or
as little capacity as you like to perform data-intensive tasks for
applications such as web indexing, data mining, log file analysis,
machine learning, financial analysis, scientific simulation, and
bioinformatics research. Amazon Elastic MapReduce lets you focus on
crunching or analyzing your data without having to worry about
time-consuming set-up, management or tuning of Hadoop clusters or the
compute capacity upon which they sit.
Working with the service is easy: Develop your processing application
using our samples or by building your own, upload your data to Amazon
S3, use the AWS Management Console or APIs to specify the number and
type of instances you want, and click "Create Job Flow." We do the
rest, running Hadoop over the number of specified instances, providing
progress monitoring, and delivering the output to Amazon S3.
We hope this new service will prove a powerful tool for your data
processing needs. You can sign up and start using the service today at
aws.amazon.com/elasticmapreduce.
Sincerely,
The Amazon Web Services Team
