EMR is a product optimized for elastic scaling of clusters - using amazon's
pre-defined AMIs. Hadoop and Spark work well on this, but not so much
Kafka, which isn't so easy to automatically add/remove nodes from. The best
bet is still to use EC2 with your own Kafka AMIs or predefined third party
ones. Take a look at the AWS Cloudformation product for a handy way to
manage a cluster of EC2 images.
