Easy to manage and reliable but the cost is hard to control

The cost is increasing. We are looking into how we can optimize the cost part of EMR. We're doing a comparison between Cloudera running on AWS and running AWS EMR. We don't have much control. If we have multiple users, if they want to scale up, the cost will go and increase and we don't know how we can restrict that price part.
