🚀 Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports continuous provisioning for clusters using the Slurm orchestrator, allowing training jobs to start immediately on available instances while remaining capacity is provisioned in the background. Priority-based provisioning brings up the Slurm controller first, then login and worker nodes in parallel, with asynchronous retries for failed launches. The feature reduces time-to-training, improves utilization, and removes the need for manual scaling interventions.

🔎 Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports custom metadata search filters, enabling teams to narrow catalog results using organization-specific attributes like business region, data classification, or study name. Filters accept string fields with a contains operator and numeric fields (Integer, Long) with equals, greater than, and less than operators. Users can also filter by asset name, description, and date range, combine multiple filters, and retain selections across browser sessions; the feature is available in all AWS Regions where Unified Studio is supported.

🔍 Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now provides an aggregated view of data lineage that consolidates all jobs contributing to a dataset. The aggregated view displays multi-level transformations and dependencies to help you identify upstream sources and downstream consumers across the full lineage graph. It is the default for IdC-based domains, with an option to revert to the previous event-timestamp-ordered view, and the new QueryGraph API exposes node graphs with metadata and augmented business context.

🔍 Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now offers an aggregated lineage view that shows all jobs contributing to a dataset across multiple levels of the lineage graph. The aggregated view is the default for IdC-based domains, while the previous event-timestamp snapshot can be restored via a "display in event timestamp order" toggle. A new QueryGraph API returns lineage node graphs with metadata and augmented business context; the capability is available in all SageMaker Unified Studio regions, with documentation and API references provided.

🔁 Amazon SageMaker Training Plans can now be extended to cover AI training runs that take longer than originally scheduled. Extensions are available in 1-day increments up to 14 days, or 7-day increments up to 182 days, and can be purchased through the SageMaker console or via API. Once an extension is purchased the reserved GPU capacity (clusters up to 64 instances) continues to run without interruption, and SageMaker automatically provisions infrastructure so workloads keep running without reconfiguration. The feature helps teams maintain cost-efficient training schedules and reduce operational disruptions.

Select Glue 5.1 from the job version dropdown to apply the runtime across Visual ETL, notebooks, and code jobs.

🔗 AWS now enables Kiro IDE to connect remotely to Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, allowing data scientists, ML engineers, and developers to use their local Kiro setup — including spec-driven development, conversational coding, and automated feature generation — while running workloads on SageMaker’s scalable compute. The integration uses the AWS Toolkit extension for secure IAM-based authentication and preserves local specs, steering files, and hooks. This reduces context switching and keeps agentic development workflows within a single environment across AWS analytics and ML services. The capability is available in all Regions where SageMaker Unified Studio is offered.

🔧 Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports API-driven Slurm configuration, enabling you to define Slurm topology, instance group to partition mappings, and FSx filesystem mounts directly in the cluster CreateCluster and UpdateCluster APIs or via the AWS Console. The update lets you specify node roles such as Controller, Login, and Compute per instance group and mount FSx for Lustre or FSx for OpenZFS filesystems. A new SlurmConfigStrategy (Managed, Overwrite, Merge) detects partition-node drift and controls whether updates are paused, overwritten, or merged to preserve manual customizations.

🔧 Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now lets operators manage individual cluster nodes directly from the AWS Console. The console enables SSM session launches, copyable pre-populated SSM CLI commands, and direct node actions such as reboot, delete, and replace, with support for batch operations across multiple nodes. Available in all Regions where HyperPod is supported, these controls reduce context switching and speed manual recovery for time-sensitive AI training and inference workloads.
