title: Suggestions for using Spark in AWS without any cluster?
body: <p>I want to leverage a couple Spark APIs to convert some data in an EC2 container. We deploy these containers on Kubernetes.</p>
  <p>I'm not super familiar with Spark, but I see there are requirements on Spark context, etc. Is it possible for me to just leverage the Spark APIs/RDDs, etc without needing any cluster? I just have a simple script I want to run that leverages Spark. I was thinking I could somehow fatjar this dependency or something, but not quite sure what I'm looking for.</p>
