Information security is deeply important to our customers and one of today’s most sought after IT specialties. So today we’re launching a new AWS Training curriculum to help customers meet their cloud security objectives under the AWS Shared Responsibility Model. The curriculum’s two new classes are designed to help customers create more secure AWS architectures and solutions and address key compliance requirements.
You can now deploy new applications on your Amazon EMR cluster and take advantage of intelligent cluster resizing. Amazon EMR release 4.1.0 offers an upgraded version of Apache Spark (1.5.0), Hue 3.7.1 as a GUI for creating and running Hive and Pig workloads, and the Hadoop Key Management Server (KMS) component for transparent encryption in the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Additionally, you can now easily install and use Presto, Apache Zeppelin, and Apache Oozie on your clusters. We have introduced them as Sandbox Applications in this release, providing early access to applications which are still in development for a full General Availability (GA) release.
