     <h2>Registration open for AMP Camp training camp in Berkeley</h2>
 
 
-<p>Want to learn how to use Spark, Shark, GraphX, and related technologies in person? The AMP Lab is hosting a two-day training workshop for them on August 29th and 30th in Berkeley. The workshop will include tutorials, talks from users, and over four hours of hands-on exercises. <a href="http://ampcamp.berkeley.edu/amp-camp-three-berkeley-2013/">Registration is now open on the AMP Camp website</a>, for a price of $250 per person.

     <h2>Spark/Shark Tutorial for Amazon EMR</h2>
 
 
-<p>This weekend, Amazon posted an <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/articles/Elastic-MapReduce/4926593393724923">article</a> and code that make it easy to launch Spark and Shark on Elastic MapReduce. The article includes examples of how to run both interactive Scala commands and SQL queries from Shark on data in S3. Head over to the <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/articles/Elastic-MapReduce/4926593393724923">Amazon article</a> for details. We’re very excited because, to our knowledge, this makes Spark the first non-Hadoop engine that you can launch with EMR.</p>

The first meetup was an <a href="http://www.meetup.com/spark-users/events/94101942/">introduction to Spark internals</a>. Thanks to one of the attendees, there&#8217;s now a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49Hr5xZyTEA">video of the meetup</a> on YouTube. We&#8217;ve also posted the <a href="http://files.meetup.com/3138542/dev-meetup-dec-2012.pptx">slides</a>. Look to see more development meetups on Spark and Shark in the future.</p>

Instructions for deploying H/A mode are included <a href="/docs/0.8.1/spark-standalone.html#high-availability">in the documentation</a>.
