Amazon SageMaker Data Agent Update

Amazon SageMaker Data Agent now supports cross-region inference profiles for Japan and Australia through Amazon Bedrock. This update ensures inference requests from Data Agent in the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) and Asia Pacific (Sydney) regions are processed within their respective geographies, supporting data sovereignty requirements for customers in Japan and Australia.

Data Agent offers an AI-powered conversational experience for data exploration, Python and SQL code generation, troubleshooting, and analytics directly within Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio Notebook and Query Editor. With geo-specific inference through JP-CRIS (Japan Cross-Region Inference) and AU-CRIS (Australia Cross-Region Inference), customers in regulated industries can meet data residency requirements while using the full set of Data Agent capabilities.

What to do

  • Open a project in SageMaker Unified Studio in a supported region.
  • Use Data Agent in notebooks or Query Editor.

For more information, see SageMaker Data Agent in the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio User Guide.
