which you can run Flink.
[Amazon Elastic MapReduce](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticmapreduce/)
(Amazon EMR) is a web service that makes it easy to quickly setup a Hadoop
cluster. This is the **recommended way** to run Flink on AWS as it takes care
of setting up everything.
-### Create EMR Cluster
+### Standard EMR Installation
-The EMR documentation contains [examples showing how to start an EMR
cluster](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticMapReduce/latest/ManagementGuide/emr-gs-launch-sample-cluster.html).
You can follow that guide and install any EMR release. You don't need to
install *All Applications* part of the EMR release, but can stick to *Core
Hadoop*:
+Flink is a supported application on Amazon EMR. Basically all you have to
do is choose Flink as an application, along with whatever
+else you need, and configure the instances and roles. [Amazon's
documentation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ReleaseGuide/emr-flink.html)
gives all the details.

-When creating your cluster, make sure to setup [IAM
roles](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticMapReduce/latest/ManagementGuide/emr-iam-roles.html)

+The standard installation (above) is easier, but if you need to use a
version of Flink that Amazon doesn't support,

How about something like "When creating a cluster, access to S3 buckets
requires configuration of [IAM
roles](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticMapReduce/latest/ManagementGuide/emr-iam-roles.html)."?
And prefix with our "note" warning?
