How-To How to actually use this

What changed: Positron, Posit's IDE for data science, is now available on Amazon SageMaker AI.

How to use it:

  1. Launch Positron within a SageMaker Studio Space.
  2. Connect to an Amazon Athena table to explore data directly.
  3. Validate features using R in the Positron environment.
  4. Train an XGBoost model in Python from the same workspace.
  5. Deploy the model as a real-time SageMaker AI endpoint and report results with Quarto.

Good for: data scientists running end-to-end workflows in a governed, cloud-based IDE.

Positron, Posit's IDE for data science, now runs on Amazon SageMaker AI. This post shows how a data scientist explores an Amazon Athena table, validates features in R, trains an XGBoost model in Python, deploys a real-time SageMaker AI endpoint, and reports results with Quarto, all in one governed SageMaker Studio Space.
