Overview

Product Information on Amazon SageMaker

Updated 7th June 2026

What is Amazon SageMaker?

Amazon SageMaker is the center for all your data, analytics, and AI. Its open data foundation is built on Amazon S3 and Apache Iceberg, supporting multiple query engines such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena, and third-party options through federation. Consistent governance and metadata span every workload with SageMaker Catalog, fine-grained access controls, and full lineage so teams can discover, trust, and secure their data in one place. From this foundation, teams work in a single development environment to build ETL pipelines, query data in SQL, and create analyses in serverless notebooks, all accelerated by the built-in data agent. They can also train and deploy ML and foundation models with SageMaker AI (including HyperPod, JumpStart, and MLOps), and build agentic workflows with Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore in the same platform. SageMaker meets developers where they are with remote IDE connectivity and open protocol support so people and agents can use it programmatically.

Amazon SageMaker Pricing

SageMaker follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model with no upfront commitments or minimum fees. The key pricing dimensions for SageMaker include instance usage (compute resources used in training, hosting, and notebook instances), storage (Amazon SageMaker notebooks, Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes, and Amazon S3), data processing jobs, model deployment, and MLOps (Amazon SageMaker Pipelines and Model Monitor).
