In this article, we delve into a crucial feature known as Block Public Access (BPA) configuration, which empowers administrators to implement a standardized public access policy across their Amazon EMR clusters within a specific region. By activating this feature, organizations can significantly minimize the risk of unintended network exposure, thereby bolstering the security of their data processing operations.
Moreover, we explore how to establish perimeter security for Amazon EMR using Apache Knox. This approach safeguards Apache Hadoop cluster resources from external users while facilitating a unified access point for all REST and HTTP communications. Clients engaging with Kerberos-enabled clusters must first obtain Kerberos tickets using Kinit or SPNEGO before they can interact with cluster services. In this post, we will guide you through the process of configuring Apache Knox to enhance security for your EMR clusters.
