AWS SageMaker
Posit products in Amazon SageMaker.
Posit offers two separate integrations with Amazon SageMaker. They share no components, and you can adopt either one without the other.
Positron on SageMaker
Positron runs in SageMaker Studio as a custom image. Posit publishes the image. You copy it into your own registry, attach it to your domain, and your users select it when they create a Space. Positron then opens directly, with R, Python, Quarto, and Posit Assistant already installed.
This integration uses no Posit Workbench components at runtime. It does require a Posit Workbench Advanced license, through the same AWS License Manager entitlement as RStudio on SageMaker.
- Administrator guide
- Copy the image, attach it to a SageMaker domain, and keep it up to date.
- User guide
- Start a Space, work in R and Python, and connect to your data.
RStudio on SageMaker
RStudio on SageMaker is the implementation of Workbench within a SageMaker domain in which SageMaker provides RStudio sessions to users.
You might see references to RStudio Workbench or RStudio Server Pro in AWS documentation. These are previous names for Workbench, which AWS will phase out as it updates its documentation with product and company rebranding.
The Workbench documentation contains the procedures. Enablement and configuration are two separate steps:
To enable SageMaker, follow the Posit Workbench Administration Guide Enable RStudio on SageMaker procedures.
Next, follow the Configure RStudio on SageMaker procedures.
