Question

A company is building an application on Amazon EMR to analyze data. The following user groups need to perform different actions:

  • Administrator: Provision EMR clusters from different configurations.
  • Data engineer: Create an EMR cluster from a small set of available

configurations. Run ETL scripts to process data.

  • Data analyst: Create an EMR cluster with a specific configuration.

Run SQL queries and Apache Hive queries on the data. A solutions architect must design a solution that gives each group the ability to launch only its authorized EMR configurations. The solution must provide the groups with least privilege access to only the resources that they need. The solution also must provide tagging for all resources that the groups create. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Explanation

AWS Service Catalog is the most appropriate solution to control and manage EMR cluster configurations and permissions for different user groups. It allows you to define a catalog of approved configurations, and you can control access to those configurations based on user groups. By using Service Catalog, you can ensure that administrators have access to a broad set of configurations, while data engineers and analysts are limited to a specific set of configurations that they are authorized to use. Service Catalog also supports tagging, which is required for tracking resources, and it integrates with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for least privilege access.
