The python boto3 code for creating a EMR cluster is as follows:-

import boto3

connection = boto3.client('emr',region_name='us-east-1',aws_access_key_id='Access Key',aws_secret_access_key='Secret Key',)

cluster_id = connection.run_job_flow(Name='test_emr_job_boto3',LogUri='s3://priyaj',ReleaseLabel='emr-5.18.0',
    Applications=[
        {
            'Name': 'Spark'
        },
    ],
    Instances={
        'InstanceGroups': [
            {
                'Name': "Master",
                'Market': 'ON_DEMAND',
                'InstanceRole': 'MASTER',
                'InstanceType': 'm1.xlarge',
                'InstanceCount': 1,
            },
            {
                'Name': "Slave",
                'Market': 'ON_DEMAND',
                'InstanceRole': 'CORE',
                'InstanceType': 'm1.xlarge',
                'InstanceCount': 1,
            }
        ],
        'Ec2KeyName': 'Your key name',
        'KeepJobFlowAliveWhenNoSteps': True,
        'TerminationProtected': False,
        'Ec2SubnetId': 'subnet-id',
    },
    Steps=[
        {
            'Name': 'file-copy-step',   
                    'ActionOnFailure': 'CONTINUE',
                    'HadoopJarStep': {
                        'Jar': 's3://Snapshot-jar-with-dependencies.jar',
                        'Args': ['test.xml', 'emr-test', 'kula-emr-test-2']
                    }
        }
    ],
    VisibleToAllUsers=True,
    JobFlowRole='EMR_EC2_DefaultRole',
    ServiceRole='EMR_DefaultRole',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'tag_name_1',
            'Value': 'tab_value_1',
        },
        {
            'Key': 'tag_name_2',
            'Value': 'tag_value_2',
        },
    ],
)

This way you can create a EMR cluster with 1 master and 1 slave node.

Hi,

Is there a way to set up a secondary master node and switch over in case of failure? Please can you suggest a alternative. Kindly help
I will try and let you know whether it is possible or not.
Any way to integrate the lambda function and how can we add an extra step?
You can create one lambda function and import your code and try to run your code.
