# Adding a new Amazon EMR on EC2 cluster in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio
<a name="adding-new-emr-on-ec2-clusters"></a>

As a data worker, you can make use of Amazon EMR on EC2 by adding existing or new Amazon EMR on EC2 clusters as compute instances to a project in the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio Studio. Within a project, you can use both existing and new Amazon EMR on EC2 clusters. 

Before you can create a new Amazon EMR on EC2 cluster, your admin must enable blueprints. On-demand creation isn't supported for Amazon EMR on EC2 in quick setup. 

After your Admin has enabled blueprints:

1. In the left navigation pane, choose **Compute**.

1. In the Compute panel, select the **Data processing** tab.

1. To create a new Amazon EMR on EC2 cluster, select the **Add compute** dropdown menu and then choose **New compute**.

1. In the **Add compute** modal, you can select the type of compute you would like to add to your project. Select **Create new compute resources**.

1. Select **Amazon EMR on EC2 cluster**.

1. The **Add compute** dialog box allows you to specify the name of the Amazon EMR on EC2 cluster, provide a description, and choose a release of EMR (such as EMR 7.5) that you want to install on your cluster. 

1. After configuring these settings, select **Add compute**. After some time, your Amazon EMR on EC2 cluster will be added to your project.
