Lab Aws ML Sagemaker: Section 0: Prerequisites

This document provides instructions for setting up an Amazon SageMaker notebook instance for an AWS ML workshop. It outlines the prerequisites of having an AWS account and lists the steps to create a SageMaker notebook instance, including providing a name, instance type, and permissions. It explains that the notebook instance will launch an ML compute instance with a preconfigured Jupyter notebook server and Anaconda libraries. Once created, the notebook dashboard can be accessed to view example notebooks and choose Python or other kernels. The document recommends stopping the notebook instance when not in use to reduce costs.

Lab AWS ML SageMaker

Section 0: prerequisites
Introduction

The following lab will help you to create a SageMaker notebook instance that will be used during the
workshop.

Setting Things Up

This lab assumes you already have an AWS account or a user account with IAM permissions that
allow you to use SageMaker. If this is not the case, please create an AWS account
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/create-and-activate-aws-
account/ or contact your company’s AWS administrator to give you user with admin SageMaker
access.

This lab will be done on us-east-1 (N. Virginia); please be sure to switch your console to your chosen
region for the rest of the labs.

To create an Amazon SageMaker notebook instance

1. Open the Amazon SageMaker console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/.


2. Choose Notebook instances, then choose Create notebook instance.
3. On the Create notebook instance page, provide the following information:
1. Give it a name
2. For Instance type, choose for example ml.t2.medium.
3. In permission and encryption, for simplicity leave everything as default which will
create a new default role. For more information about options creating your own IAM
role, see Amazon SageMaker Roles.
4. Finally click on Create notebook instance.
In a few minutes, Amazon SageMaker launches an ML compute instance—in this case, a
notebook instance—and attaches an ML storage volume to it. The notebook instance has a
preconfigured Jupyter notebook server and a set of Anaconda libraries. For more information,
see the CreateNotebookInstance API.
5. When the status of the notebook instance is InService, choose Open next to its name to open
the Juypter dashboard.

The dashboard provides access to:

o Examples notebooks (red box in above image). Where you could find multiple examples
for that illustrate how to use Sagemer build in algos or build your own algos. For
information about the sample notebooks, see the Amazon SageMaker GitHub
repository.
o The kernels for Jupyter, including those that provide support for Python 2 and 3, Apache
MXNet, TensorFlow, and PySpark. To choose a kernel for your notebook instance, use
the New menu.

Once your Notebook is configured and created you could at any time stop and start the instance, in
that way you will only pay for time that you use the resources. So please if you created the Notebook
instance before the workshop and you are not going to use it until then, we recommend you to stop
the instance and start it again the day of the workshop to reduce cost.
