AWS Announces New Amazon SageMaker Capabilities and Enhancements
Amazon Web Services recently announced that users now have the ability to build an Amazon SageMaker notebook from the AWS Glue Console and then connect it to an AWS Glue development endpoint. This integration enables users to use Amazon SageMaker's fully managed notebooks in lieu of provisioning and managing their own notebook servers. This, effectively, not only makes it easier but also faster for users to start creating their own AWS Glue ETL scripts. It must be noted that an AWS Glue development endpoint is a serverless Apache Spark environment that can be utilized to develop, debug, and test AWS Glue ETL scripts in an interactive way. The company also added that users can leverage the Amazon SageMaker Spark library, an open-source Apache Spark library for Amazon SageMaker, on AWS Glue development endpoints.
