Unified scheduling for visible ETL flows and question books in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio

Knowledge engineers and analysts typically have to automate their knowledge processing workflows and queries to keep up up-to-date knowledge pipelines and stories. Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio offers a unified atmosphere for knowledge, analytics, machine studying (ML), and AI workloads. Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio offers highly effective instruments for visible extract, remodel, and cargo (ETL) flows and question books. Till immediately, scheduling these workflows has required further setup and infrastructure.

As we speak, we’re excited to introduce a brand new unified scheduling function that simplifies this course of. SageMaker Unified Studio permits you to create ETL flows utilizing a visible interface and write SQL analytics queries utilizing question books. This new unified scheduling function permits you to schedule your visible ETL flows and question books straight from SageMaker Unified Studio throughout the identical interface, eliminating the necessity for visiting different consoles or advanced configurations. Utilizing Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, this function offers a seamless and easy-to-use scheduling expertise.

On this submit, we stroll by learn how to schedule your visible ETL flows and question books with just some clicks, discover the underlying structure, and show how this function can streamline your knowledge workflow automation.

Function overview

SageMaker Unified Studio unified scheduling is constructed on high of EventBridge Scheduler and Amazon SageMaker Coaching. Once you configure a brand new schedule from SageMaker Unified Studio, a brand new EventBridge schedule is routinely created in your AWS account.
