MapR is available on Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR) as a simple drop-down selection in the AWS Management Console. MapR is fully supported on multiple AWS instance types, including the latest high-performance SSD-backed high I/O instances. The combination of MapR and Amazon EMR provides a proven solution for users who want to effectively and rapidly leverage Hadoop on the AWS Cloud.
