<a name="studio-notebooks-launch-emr-cluster-from-template"></a>

Data scientists and data engineers can self-provision Amazon EMR clusters from Studio or Studio Classic using CloudFormation templates set up by their administrators. Before users can launch a cluster, administrators must have configured the necessary settings in the Studio environment. For information on how administrators can configure a Studio environment to allow self-provisioning Amazon EMR clusters, see [Configure Amazon EMR CloudFormation templates in the Service Catalog](studio-notebooks-set-up-emr-templates.md).

To provision a new Amazon EMR cluster from Studio or Studio Classic:

1. In the Studio or Studio Classic UI's left-side panel, select the **Data** node in the left navigation menu. Navigate down to **Amazon EMR Clusters**. This opens up a page listing the Amazon EMR clusters that you can access from Studio or Studio Classic.

1. Choose the **Create** button at the top right corner. This opens up a new modal listing the cluster templates available to you.

1. Select a cluster template by choosing a template name and then choose **Next**.

1. Enter the cluster's details, such as a cluster name and any specific configurable parameter set by your administrator, and then choose **Create cluster**. The creation of the cluster might take a couple of minutes.

Once the cluster is provisioned, the Studio or Studio Classic UI displays a *The cluster has been successfully created* message.
