A company uses an Amazon EMR cluster to process data once a day. The raw data comes from Amazon S3, and the resulting processed data is also stored in Amazon S3. The processing must complete within 4 hours; currently, it only takes 3 hours. However, the processing time is taking 5 to 10 minutes longer each week due to an increasing volume of raw data. The team is also concerned about rising costs as the compute capacity increases. The EMR cluster is currently running on three m3.xlarge instances (one master and two core nodes). Which of the following solutions will reduce costs related to the increasing compute needs?
