In this whitepaper, we take a deeper look at the considerations and potential caveats associated with migrating your on-prem Hadoop workload to Amazon EMR that must be taken into account before starting your Big Data journey on AWS including:

• Amazon EMR architecture
• Amazon EMR cost analysis
• Deployment considerations
• Data Migration techniques and more!
