Starting today, you can enable RStudio on Amazon SageMaker on your existing Amazon SageMaker Studio domains. This eliminates the administrative burden of decommissioning and re-creating your Studio domains to enable RStudio on SageMaker. You can also select whether all user profiles in the domain have access to RStudio on SageMaker by default or enable it for specific user profiles individually. You can set the type of access your users have in RStudio (i.e., user or administrator access).

RStudio on Amazon SageMaker is the industry’s first fully managed, cloud-based Posit Workbench (formerly known as RStudio Workbench). Data scientists and developers can launch the familiar RStudio integrated development environment (IDE) in a single click to build, train, and deploy models on Amazon SageMaker. You can elastically dial up and down the underlying compute resources without interrupting your work, and even switch to programming using Python on Amazon SageMaker Studio notebooks.

You can enable RStudio on Amazon SageMaker on your existing domain through the AWS CLI and SDK. For detailed instructions on how to enable RStudio on your existing SageMaker domains, visit our related documentation page.
