there are several reasons that AWS users do (can) not use EMR, one
point for us is that security compliance problem, EMR is totally not
open sourced, we can not use it in production system. second is that
EMR do not support HA yet.

but to the original question from @Everett :

-> Credentials and Hadoop Configuration

as you said, best practice should be "rely on machine roles", they
called IAM roles.

we are using EMRFS impl for accessing s3, it supports IAM role-based
access control well. you can take a look here:
https://github.com/zalando/spark/tree/branch-1.6-zalando

or simply use our docker image (Dockerfile on github:
https://github.com/zalando/spark-appliance/tree/master/Dockerfile)

docker run -d --net=host \
           -e START_MASTER="true" \
           -e START_WORKER="true" \
           -e START_WEBAPP="true" \
           -e START_NOTEBOOK="true" \
           registry.opensource.zalan.do/bi/spark:1.6.2-6


-> SDK and File System Dependencies

as mentioned above, using EMRFS libs solved this problem:
