Brief
SageMaker AI adds instance preference lists for training jobs
Amazon SageMaker AI now offers instance preference lists for training and processing jobs. You can specify an ordered list of up to five instance types, and SageMaker AI automatically launches on the first type with available capacity.
The new feature lets you specify an ordered list of up to five instance types. SageMaker AI then automatically launches on the first type with available capacity. This eliminates manual retry loops and capacity-watching scripts, which were previously needed to handle capacity shortages. For teams running training or processing jobs, this means less babysitting and faster job starts when preferred instances are unavailable.
