Abstract
In today's competitive data analysis space, Apache Hadoop workloads have become more relevant to organizations of all sizes and purposes. As such, the skillsets associated with managing these workloads are in high demand. To keep up with this demand, universities have begun to offer classes that teach these concepts to the next generation of business and IT professionals. The IT staff supporting these organizations are often tasked with enabling students with an advanced, modern infrastructure to support a demanding curriculum. Due to short-term semesters, it is cost prohibitive for universities to invest in dedicated infrastructure for these classes, which can become quickly outdated.
This document discusses multiple deployment options available to
higher-education organizations, enabling them to provide a modern
AWS infrastructure to support a big data class offering using
Amazon EMR
