Amazon SageMaker Notebook Instance Self-Service Migration

Amazon SageMaker Notebook instance now supports self-service migration, allowing you to update your notebook instance platform identifier through the UpdateNotebookInstance API. This enables you to seamlessly transition from unsupported platform identifiers (notebook-al1-v1, notebook-al2-v1, notebook-al2-v2) to supported versions (notebook-al2-v3, notebook-al2023-v1).

With the new PlatformIdentifier parameter in the UpdateNotebookInstance API, you can update to newer versions of the Notebook instance platform while preserving your existing data and configurations. The platform identifier determines which Operating System and JupyterLab version combination your notebook instance runs. This self-service capability simplifies the migration process and helps you keep your notebook instances current.

This feature is supported through AWS CLI (version 2.31.27 or newer) and SDK, and is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon SageMaker Notebook instances are supported.

What to do

  • Update your notebook instance platform identifier using the UpdateNotebookInstance API.
  • Preserve your existing data and configurations during the migration.
  • Use AWS CLI (version 2.31.27 or newer) or SDK for the migration process.
