Awsclaw EMR

Manage and inspect EMR clusters, steps, studios, notebook executions, and related configurations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks about EMR clusters, Hadoop, or Spark
• Wants to inspect cluster status, steps, or instances
• Needs to view EMR studios or notebook executions
• Asks about release labels, instance types, or security configurations
• Wants to check auto-termination, managed scaling, or session credentials
• Wants to launch or terminate clusters
• Needs to add steps, instance groups, or tags
• Wants to modify cluster settings or scaling policies
