In one line

An EMR charge per second on every node, stacked on top of the EC2 and EBS bills.

What gets missed

Long-running clusters keep accruing charges until you shut them down, idle or busy. Auto-terminate transient jobs. EMR Serverless meters vCPU-hours, memory GB-hours and storage instead.

Find it on your bill
