Amazon EMR extends support at no additional cost for customers migrating off older releases

Amazon EMRAWS · Analytics

Amazon EMR now gives you more time, at no additional cost, to migrate off older releases before they reach end of support. If you are actively migrating, your workloads on eligible releases keep receiving support while you move to a current release, with no opt-in and at no charge.

To give you more time to plan and migrate, Amazon EMR provides critical security fixes for releases 5.36 and 6.6 through 6.15 on a best-effort basis through June 30, 2027, and extended Standard Support for 7.0 through 7.10 releases through August 31, 2027. To receive an extension, contact AWS Support with your migration plan and any help you need with the upgrade.

This applies to all deployment models of Amazon EMR (EMR on EC2, EMR on EKS, and EMR Serverless), in all AWS Regions where Amazon EMR is available. For the full list of releases and their support dates, see the Amazon EMR standard support policy. To get the extended support, contact AWS Support with your migration plan, or use the Apache Spark Upgrade Agent to move your applications to a current release.
