AWS EMR is still pretty pricey compared to free ambari/cloudera running on ec2. Although, there is a lot of time and effort that needed to be put into automation that uses those ambari/cloudera hadoop management layers. After they merged, they got really aggressive and made moves that effectively killed each of the free versions. They definitely put another nail in the coffin of hadoop. Spark on kubernetes is pretty gorgeous and has been a successful route out of pricey hadoop infrastructure for my company.
