Creating Notebook Instance In Amazon SageMaker

We learned about Amazon SageMaker and Connecting AWS to Visual Studio Code in the previous articles, AWS SageMaker and How To Connect VS Code To AWS. In this article, we’ll learn to set up the notebook instance in Amazon SageMaker.

Notebook is the primary tool through which interaction is done with the SageMaker ecosystem. There are numerous other ways for the interaction to the functionalities of Amazon SageMaker with this approach widely used. Let us learn how to create the instance of the notebook within the Amazon SageMaker for the Machine Learning application’s modeling, training, and validation.

Step 1

Login into AWS. You’ll be taken to the welcome page of the AWS Management Console.

Step 5

Time for filing the settings for the notebook instance creation. Choose the Notebook instance name of your choice. The ml.t2.medium notebook instance type will work out fine for the notebook as discussed in our previous article, Amazon SageMaker. This provides the resource allocation for primary memory of 4GB, 2GB for vCPU, and low to moderate performance of network fit for running the notebooks.

Step 11

In order to Run the Notebook again, Click on Start under Actions. It is critical to know that, Amazon SageMaker charges for Notebook as per the runtime. Hence, when one is finished using the notebook instance, it is better to stop the instance to limit any possible charges to incur. Howsoever, no data will be lost for stopping the instance unless you delete the instance itself.
