  title: Amazon EMR Launch a Cluster With Processing Steps
  summary: Create a cluster and queue processing steps to run as soon as it starts.
  description: >-
    Launches a managed Amazon EMR cluster and submits an initial batch of
    processing steps in the same RunJobFlow call so the work begins as soon as
    the cluster is provisioned. The workflow passes through the caller supplied
    instance configuration, release label, and ordered list of steps, and
    returns the new cluster's JobFlowId. Every step spells out its request
    inline, including the AWS JSON protocol X-Amz-Target header, so the flow can
    be read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
