Alan Weaver introduces AzureSMR:

The AzureSMR functions currently addresses the following Azure Services:

  • Azure Blob: List, Read and Write to Blob Services

  • Azure Resources: List, Create and Delete Azure Resource. Deploy ARM templates.

  • Azure VM: List, Start and Stop Azure VMs

  • Azure HDI: List and Scale Azure HDInsight Clusters

  • Azure Hive: Run Hive queries against a HDInsight Cluster

  • Azure Spark: List and create Spark jobs/Sessions against a HDInsight Cluster(Livy)

This can be useful for cases like when you need to ramp up the Spark cluster before running a particularly compute-intensive process.
