🔧 Amazon SageMaker Studio's quick setup now completes in under twenty seconds, down from over two minutes, letting users rapidly move from sign-in to a fully configured Studio environment. Newly created Studio environments automatically receive serverless model customization permissions via a new managed policy, AmazonSageMakerModelCustomizationCoreAccess, enabling fine-tuning, evaluation, and deployment without manual IAM role configuration. Existing environments receive actionable guidance to add the permissions. The feature is available in all AWS Commercial Regions that support SageMaker Studio.

🔒 Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports custom IAM permissions boundaries so organizations enforcing Service Control Policies (SCPs) can provision projects without changing their security posture. When creating a project, SageMaker provisions three IAM roles — a project user role, an Amazon Bedrock service role, and a Bedrock Lambda execution role — and administrators can specify a permissions boundary in the Tooling blueprint configuration. The boundary is attached to all three roles at creation, satisfying SCP requirements and limiting role capabilities while allowing automatic project provisioning across all supported AWS Regions.

🔧 Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports EFA-only network interfaces for cluster instance groups, allowing dedicated Elastic Fabric Adapter devices without attaching Elastic Network Adapters for IP networking. This reduces IP address consumption in VPC subnets and enables larger-scale distributed training clusters. To enable it, set efa-only in the ClusterNetworkInterface when creating or updating a HyperPod cluster via the API.

🔧 Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now offers troubleshooting skills that deliver expert AI/ML cluster diagnostics into coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Kiro. These skills guide natural-language diagnostics for GPU hardware faults, NCCL communication issues, and performance bottlenecks across distributed clusters. They automate evidence collection via AWS Systems Manager and provide actionable recommendations without requiring infrastructure changes.

🚀 Amazon announces GA of EC2 P5en.48xl instances for SageMaker notebook instances, delivering advanced H200 GPUs paired with 4th Gen Intel Xeon processors. These instances provide increased GPU memory and bandwidth compared to P5, Gen5 PCIe between CPU and GPU, and faster EFA/Nitro networking to boost distributed training and inference. P5en.48xl is available in US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) regions. Refer to the developer guides for setup and SageMaker Studio integration.

🚀 Amazon Web Services announces general availability of Amazon EC2 P5en.48xl instances on SageMaker notebook instances. These P5en instances feature 8 H200 GPUs with increased GPU memory and bandwidth versus H100, paired with custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon processors and Gen5 PCIe for higher CPU–GPU bandwidth. They also include third-generation EFA via Nitro v5, offering up to 3200 Gbps and latency improvements over prior P5 instances. P5en.48xl is currently available in US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo).

🚀 Amazon SageMaker notebook instances now support EC2 P5.4xl instances powered by NVIDIA H100 GPUs. These instances boost deep learning and HPC workloads, offering up to 4x faster time-to-solution and up to 40% lower training cost versus prior GPU generations. P5.4xl is available in multiple AWS regions including US East, US West, Asia Pacific, and South America; see AWS developer guides for setup instructions.

🔔 Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports minimum capacity requirements (MinCount) for Slurm clusters using continuous provisioning, ensuring that instance groups only enter InService when a specified minimum number of instances are provisioned. This is valuable for distributed training frameworks such as PyTorch FSDP, Megatron-LM, and NVIDIA NeMo that need a fixed node count, and for teams requiring baseline GPU counts to meet SLAs or cost targets. Specify MinInstanceCount in the CreateCluster or UpdateCluster API; groups remain in Creating or Updating until the threshold is met or a 3-hour rollback triggers. MinCount is available in all Regions supporting SageMaker HyperPod.

🧭 Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio IAM domains now include an interactive interface for creating and managing feature groups in SageMaker Feature Store, removing the need to write code for common feature management tasks. This launch makes feature management accessible to data scientists, ML engineers, and business analysts from a single collaborative environment. Users can discover and search existing features, create and modify feature groups, view definitions and schemas, and monitor data ingestion status without API calls. Features created elsewhere appear immediately in SageMaker Unified Studio when sharing the same IAM role, enabling seamless workflows across the ML lifecycle.

🔒 Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports domain management for both Identity Center and IAM-based domains outside the AWS Console. Administrators and data management teams can create and manage projects, configure workforce identity, administer users and permissions, and set networking properties. VPC configuration and account associations are consistent across domain types and available in all Regions where Unified Studio is offered.

🛠️ Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now adds business context, metadata, and data governance features for IAM-based domains. Customers can annotate AWS Glue Data Catalog tables with business names, descriptions, and README documentation, and use AI-generated metadata to automate cataloging. Teams can build business glossaries, define metadata form templates, and capture structured attributes like classification, retention, and ownership. These capabilities enable search, filtering by glossary or metadata fields, and access requests with automated Lake Formation permission grants, and are available in all regions where SageMaker Unified Studio is supported.

🔧 Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now automatically creates Glue connections across subnets to enable job retries when a primary subnet becomes unavailable. Administrators define a domain VPC with multiple private subnets and the system provisions connectors for new projects so retries can run on alternate subnets without manual intervention. This reduces unplanned data-pipeline downtime and helps meet SLAs across AWS Regions where SageMaker Unified Studio is available.

🧩 Amazon SageMaker Inference now supports OpenAI-compatible APIs, enabling existing tools and frameworks like the OpenAI SDK, LangChain, and Strands Agents to connect directly to SageMaker endpoints. Switching requires only changing an endpoint URL, with no custom integration code or SDK wrappers. You can continue using your current authentication approach while choosing GPU instances, keeping data in your VPC, running open source or fine-tuned models, and leveraging auto-scaling policies. This capability is available today across multiple AWS regions with AWS credentials and automatic token refresh for production use.

🛠️ Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now integrates data quality rule authoring and evaluation powered by AWS Glue Data Quality. Data engineers, analysts, and data scientists can define rules, run evaluations, and view results for both data at rest and data in transit. The feature supports catalog table checks and Visual ETL job evaluations to detect issues before they impact analytics or ML workloads.

🧾 Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports data capture for inference workloads, allowing organizations to record request and response payloads for monitoring, compliance, debugging, and offline analysis. You can capture traffic at the SageMaker endpoint, load balancer, or model pod and combine layers for richer observability. Captured data is delivered asynchronously to Amazon S3 with configurable sampling and encryption using customer-managed AWS KMS keys and is designed to never block inference. Enable data capture via the HyperPod Inference Operator or SageMaker JumpStart.

🚀 Amazon SageMaker Studio IDEs, including JupyterLab and Code Editor, now support GPU capacity reservations via SageMaker Flexible Training Plans (FTP), offering predictable access to high-performance resources and up to 65% cost savings versus On‑Demand. FTP provides a self-serve procurement flow to select instance type, reservation length, and start date. Studio apps can be launched using the purchased plan from the Instance dropdown, with automatic provisioning and proactive expiration notifications to protect work.
