Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio Update

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports custom asset types for IAM-based domains. This update allows domain administrators to catalog any format of asset within the SageMaker Unified Studio, such as medical imaging files in Amazon S3, revenue dashboards built in PowerBI, or PDF research reports generated by a third-party platform.

Custom asset types bring all assets, regardless of their underlying format, into the SageMaker catalog so teams can search, discover, and subscribe to them without needing separate tools or processes.

What to do

  • Create a custom asset type with a name, description, and optional metadata forms.
  • Enrich individual assets with glossary terms and README documentation.
  • Publish assets for discovery and request subscriptions through the governed workflow.

Custom asset types for IAM-based domains are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio is available.
