AWS Certified Data Analytics Specialty 2021 – Hands-On - Zeppelin and EMR Notebooks

The video tutorial introduces Apache Zeppelin, a hosted notebook for running Python scripts on a cluster, similar to Ipython notebooks but with enhanced capabilities for big data. It integrates with Apache Spark, allowing interactive data analysis and visualization. The tutorial also covers EMR Notebook, an AWS-integrated tool that offers similar functionalities with additional features like automatic S3 backup and cluster management. Both tools facilitate data science tasks by enabling easy experimentation, visualization, and SQL querying on large datasets.

What is Apache Zeppelin primarily used for?

• Running desktop applications

• Interacting with data on a cluster

• Designing websites

• Creating mobile apps

How does Apache Zeppelin enhance the data science experience?

• By integrating with social media platforms

• By offering free cloud storage

• By providing a mobile app interface

• By scaling up Ipython notebooks to handle big data

Which of the following is a benefit of using Apache Zeppelin with Apache Spark?

• It requires no programming knowledge

• It can only be used for small data sets

• It provides free access to all AWS services

• It allows for interactive Spark code execution

What is a unique feature of Amazon EMR Notebooks compared to Apache Zeppelin?

• They are only available on Windows

• They automatically back up to S3

• They require no internet connection

• They can be used offline

What is a key advantage of using EMR Notebooks for data analysis?

• They allow for on-demand cluster provisioning

• They do not support data visualization

• They are hosted on personal computers

• They are limited to a single user
