Amazon EMR on EKS Gets 30% Cheaper

Amazon just slashed EMR charges by 30 percent when you run workloads on EKS—both per-vCPU-hour and per-GB-hour rates drop, while EKS costs stay the same. The discount applies automatically across all AWS Regions where EMR on EKS is available, so your Apache Spark jobs get instant savings without any config changes needed.
