# Use Amazon SageMaker Spark for machine learning
<a name="emr-spark-sagemaker"></a>

When using Amazon EMR release 5.11.0 and later, the `aws-sagemaker-spark-sdk` component is installed along with Spark. This component installs Amazon SageMaker Spark and associated dependencies for Spark integration with [Amazon SageMaker](https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/). Please note, the `aws-sagemaker-spark-sdk` component is not available from Amazon EMR 7.x and higher. You can use Amazon SageMaker Spark to construct Spark machine learning (ML) pipelines using Amazon SageMaker stages. For more information, see the [Amazon SageMaker Spark README](https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-spark/blob/master/README.md) on GitHub and [Using Apache Spark with Amazon SageMaker](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/apache-spark.html) in the *Amazon SageMaker Developer Guide*.
