Amazon EMR Releases

[Torok, David]

Does anyone have any insight as to how closely Amazon EMR releases will track the Flink releases?  For example EMR 5.3.1 on Feb 7 included Flink 1.1.4, from Dec 21 … about 1.5 month lag.  With Flink accelerating to a timed release schedule,  I wonder how far behind EMR will track the official release schedule.

EMR is a team within Amazon Web Services, to them, Flink is one of frameworks they need to support. Haven't see SLA around release time lag, but seems common practice better off keep a cool down period and let problem resolved before onboard new versions.

I spoke to one of the representatives in AWS EMR team last week. They mentioned that they usually practice a 4 week cool down period. Hopefully we will get Flink 1.2 in the next week.

Thanks,
