🧭 Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio introduces a getting-started section with short tutorials that guide users through core workflows—running a first SQL query, analyzing notebook data, building a Visual ETL pipeline, and training an ML model—each using pre-loaded sample data and completable in under 10 minutes. The development environment now auto-matches your OS light/dark mode on first sign-in. A new in-product “What’s New” area surfaces release notes and recent feature announcements to help users discover capabilities as they launch.

🔐 Amazon announced new administration features for SageMaker Unified Studio that give administrators finer control over identity configuration and user management across both IAM and IAM Identity Center domain types. Administrators can now configure AWS IAM Identity Center for SSO onboarding, add IAM roles, users, and groups as project members, and manage domain users from a consolidated admin portal. For Identity Center domains, federated access through IAM roles now produces unique user sessions so collaborators sharing a role do not overwrite each other and actions remain auditable. These updates enable teams to use corporate IAM or IAM Identity Center identities consistently across domains and simplify collaboration and auditing in the Studio environment.

🔧Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports AMI-based node lifecycle configuration for Slurm clusters, provisioning nodes with the software and configurations needed for production-ready AI/ML training environments. The AMI includes required components such as Docker, Enroot, and Pyxis, plus Slurm accounting, SSH key generation, log rotation, and user home setup. To enable it, omit the LifeCycleConfig block when creating clusters or select "None" under Lifecycle scripts in the console; you can still supply an extension script for additional customization or continue using full custom lifecycle scripts if you need complete control. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where SageMaker HyperPod is offered.

🔍 Amazon Quick now supports Amazon S3 table buckets as a direct data source, enabling dashboards, conversational analytics, and exploration of Apache Iceberg tables stored in S3 without intermediate warehouses or OLAP layers. Paired with Zero-ETL ingestion from systems like Salesforce, SAP, and Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, organizations can access near real-time insights with reduced pipeline complexity. Admins configure S3 table bucket permissions once, and authors can immediately create datasets and use Dataset Q&A to query the lakehouse in natural language.

🤖 Amazon SageMaker AI introduces an agentic experience that dramatically shortens model customization from months to days or hours. Using SageMaker AI model customization agent skills, developers interact via natural language coding agents to prepare data, fine-tune models, evaluate quality with LLM-as-a-judge metrics, and generate reusable code artifacts. Skills can be installed into IDEs via the sagemaker-ai agent plugin or used pre-installed in SageMaker Studio Notebooks, and support deployment to Amazon Bedrock or SageMaker AI endpoints.

🚀 Amazon SageMaker AI endpoints now support prioritized instance pools for flexible provisioning. When your preferred instance type has insufficient capacity, SageMaker AI automatically provisions from the next option in your prioritized list for endpoint creation, updates, and autoscaling — keeping endpoints reliable without manual intervention. You can specify hardware-optimized model artifacts per instance type and monitor per-instance-type CloudWatch metrics for latency, throughput, GPU utilization, and instance counts.
