Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports long-running sessions with corporate identities

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports long-running sessions with corporate identities through AWS IAM Identity Center's trusted identity propagation (TIP) capability. This feature enables data scientists, data engineers, and analytics professionals to achieve uninterrupted workflow continuity and improved productivity. Users can now initiate interactive notebooks from Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio and data processing sessions on Amazon EMR (EC2, EKS, Serverless) and AWS Glue that continue running in the background using their corporate credentials, even when they log off or their session expires.

With this capability, you can now launch resource-intensive complex data processing sessions, or exploratory analytics flows and step away from your workstations without interrupting progress. Sessions automatically maintain corporate identity permissions through IAM Identity Center's trusted identity propagation, ensuring consistent security and access controls throughout execution. You can start multi-hour or multi-day workflows knowing the jobs will persist through network disconnections, laptop shutdowns, or credential refresh cycles, with sessions running for up to 90 days (default 7 days). This eliminates the productivity bottleneck of monitoring long-running processes and enables more efficient resource utilization across data teams.

What to do

• Initiate long-running sessions from Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio.
• Ensure uninterrupted workflow continuity with corporate identity permissions.
• Monitor and manage long-running data processing sessions on Amazon EMR and AWS Glue.
