You can export the software configuration parameters of existing clusters in the EMR console, so that you can reuse these parameters for software configuration to quickly create a cluster in the future.
Note
You can export configuration files at the cluster but not configuration group or node level.
To reuse the configuration of an existing cluster for a new cluster, we recommend you export only the modified configuration files of the existing cluster but not all the configuration files.
Directions
1. Log in to the EMR console and go to the cluster list page.
2. In the Action column of the target cluster, select More > Export Software Configuration.
3. Select the files to be exported and click Export Configuration to download the software configuration files.
