What is SageMaker notebooks?
Launch fully managed JupyterLab from
Amazon SageMaker Studio in seconds. Use the integrated development environment (IDE) for notebooks, code, and data. You can use the quick start, collaborative notebooks in the IDE to access purpose-built ML tools in SageMaker and other AWS services for your complete ML development, from preparing data at petabyte scale using Spark on Amazon EMR, to training and debugging models, deploying and monitoring models and managing pipelines – all in one web-based visual interface. Easily dial compute resources up or down without interrupting your work.
Benefits of SageMaker notebooks
Build ML at scale
Quick start
Launch fully managed JupyterLab in Studio in seconds. SageMaker Studio comes pre-configured with pre-built SageMaker distribution containing popular packaging for ML, including deep learning frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Keras; popular Python packages like NumPy, scikit-learn, and panda to help you get started with model building.
Elastic compute
Scale your underlying compute resources up or down, and use shared persistent storage to switch compute, all without interrupting your work. Pick from the broadest selection of compute resources offered by AWS, including the most powerful GPU instances for ML.
Boost ML development productivity
Data preparation
Simplify your data workflows with a unified environment. Create, browse, and connect to Amazon EMR clusters and AWS Glue Interactive Sessions directly from JupyterLab. Use the built-in data preparation capability to visualize data and improve data quality.
Notebook jobs
You can use SageMaker notebook jobs to create a non-interactive job to either run on demand or on a schedule. Use an intuitive user interface or SageMaker Python SDK to schedule your jobs right from JupyterLab. Once a notebook is selected, SageMaker notebook takes a snapshot of the entire notebook, packages its dependencies in a container, builds the infrastructure, runs the notebook as an automated job on a schedule set by the practitioner, and deprovisions the infrastructure upon job completion. SageMaker notebook jobs is also available as a native step in Amazon SageMaker pipelines to enable you to automate your notebooks into multi-step workflows with dependencies for CI/CD deployment within a few lines of code.
AI-powered tools
Amazon Q Developer provides ‘how-to’ guidance on SageMaker features, code generation assistance, and support for troubleshooting in the JupyterLab environment. Simply ask your questions in natural language, such as "How do I deploy my model on a SageMaker endpoint for real-time inference?", and Amazon Q Developer will provide step-by-step instructions and code to get you started. When you encounter errors while executing the code, the Amazon Q Developer is there to lend a helping hand. Just ask it to fix the error, and it will provide detailed steps to debug and resolve the issue.
Flexibility and Customization
Built for teams
Set up your team access to SageMaker Studio notebooks using AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-on). Create separate environments for platform administrators and business leaders to monitor cost and usage of SageMaker Studio. Create shared spaces where your teams can read, edit, and run notebooks together in real time to streamline collaboration and communication. Teammates can review results together to immediately understand how a model performs without passing information back and forth. With built-in support for services like BitBucket and AWS CodeCommit, teams can easily manage different notebook versions and compare changes over time.All resources are automatically tagged, making it easier to monitor costs and plan budgets using tools such as AWS Budgets and AWS Cost Explorer.
Customizable
Bring your own notebook development environment to SageMaker Studio using a custom docker image. Use Lifecycle Configurations to automate and customize notebook environments for your team.
Standalone notebook instances
Use the standalone Jupyter notebooks that you know and trust in the fully managed SageMaker service. Forget the hassle of setting up compute resources, upgrading data science and ML packages, and applying security patches. SageMaker notebook instances let you focus entirely on ML, while keeping your compute environment secure and up to date with latest open-source software.
