How to create EMR cluster using AWS CLI

Question

Can someone help me with the command to create a EMR cluster using AWS CLI? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The command to create EMR cluster using AWS CLI is as follows:-

aws emr create-cluster --name "Demo Cluster" --ami-version 5.2 --applications Name=Hive Name=Pig --use-default-roles --ec2-attributes KeyName=YourKey --instance-groups InstanceGroupType=MASTER,InstanceCount=1,InstanceType=m4.large InstanceGroupType=CORE,InstanceCount=2,InstanceType=m4.large --steps Type=PIG,Name="Pig Program",ActionOnFailure=CONTINUE,Args=[-f,s3://mybucket,-p,INPUT=s3://mybucket,-p,OUTPUT=s3://mybucket,$INPUT=s3://mybucket,$OUTPUT=s3://mybucket]

This will create a 2 node cluster 1 master and 1 slave.

Hope this helps.
