Use custom AMI when launching EMR clusters

Open mreid-moz opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

EMR 5.7 introduced the possibility of using a custom AMI for launching EMR clusters.

It would be great to take advantage of this to both use up-to-date OS images (currently 5.8.0 uses a fairly stale 2017-03 amazon linux image) as well as potentially speeding up cluster provisioning by baking some or all of the bootstrapping code into the AMI itself.

This could also be used to roll out new images to stage, test them, then deploy the image to prod (rather than messing with the S3-based bootstrap scripts).
