AWS EMR Cluster Support and handling

Turbo does not inherently recognize this particular type of device (EMR Cluster) as a “special handling” instance; in effect it sees a list of instances that can be optimized. Without scaling these devices concurrently/consistently, the cluster will essentially fail.

    This issue was also raised by Cathay United Bank(Taiwan) as they executed the scaling action for AWS EMR node and it failed as the instance type recommended by Turbonomic was not a supported instance in AWS EMR.

    Have asked the customer to upvote this and as a workaround, To avoid any scaling action from being recommended by Turbonomic, we advised the customer to create a VM group containing EMR clusters and disable Cloud scale all action for this VM group.

    What is the added value in your opinion to add this feature to Turbo? What are the savings you would be looking at if this happens?
    What is the cloud spend?

    What are their pain points?

    We would like to understand what we can solve if we add this feature?

    Short answer: No, Turbonomic cannot optimize EMR clusters directly (it doesn’t model EMR as a first‑class object). Yes, you can safely optimize EMR indirectly by letting EMR manage the cluster semantics (node counts, lifecycle) while Turbonomic manages the underlying EC2/EBS/ASG resources with the right guardrails. And since turbonomic already takes care of the underlying resources I am not sure we should even consider doing this right now…
