Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio announces the general availability of the Custom Blueprints

Posted on: Sep 8, 2025

Today, AWS announced the general availability of Custom Blueprints, a new feature in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, part of the next generation of Amazon SageMaker. This feature allows customers to use their own managed policies as per their corporate security requirements to create a project role in SageMaker Unified Studio. Customers can either replace the managed policies provide by Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio as part of the tooling blueprint with their custom policies or enrich the existing policies by appending additional policies.

In addition to allowing you to bring your own managed policies, Custom Blueprints is designed to provide you the ability to configure the infrastructure and resources that you want to deploy in the project created in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio. Using your own AWS CloudFormation templates you can define and customize the parameters and configuration for any AWS resources such as Amazon EMR on EC2, AWS Glue Data Catalog, and Amazon Redshift. You can replace the service managed blueprints with your custom blueprints in order to ensure standardization across your entire organization. The sample templates to create your custom blueprints are available here.

The ability to use Custom Blueprint is available in all AWS Commercial Regions where the next generation of Amazon SageMaker is available. See the supported regions list for more details. For instructions on how to get started, visit the Amazon SageMaker documentation.
