Complete Amazon SageMaker AI prerequisites

Before you can set up Amazon SageMaker AI, you must complete the following prerequisites.

  • Required: You will need to create an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account to get access to all of the AWS services and resources for the account.

  • Highly recommended: We highly recommend that you create an administrative user to manage AWS resources for the account, to adhere to the Security best practices in IAM. It is assumed that you have an administrative user for many of the administrative tasks throughout the SageMaker AI developer guide.

  • Optional: Configure the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) if you intend to manage your AWS services and resources for the account using the AWS CLI.

Sign up for an AWS account

To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. For information about creating an AWS account, see Getting started with an AWS account in the AWS Account Management Reference Guide.

When you create an administrative user to set up SageMaker AI, the administrative user should include specific permissions to create SageMaker AI resources. To view the permissions, expand the following administrator permissions section.

When you create your administrative user using the preceding instructions, your administrative user should already include the permissions contained in the AmazonSageMakerFullAccess policy, as well as the following permissions. These policies are needed to create a SageMaker AI domain among other tasks.

If you intend to create your own custom policy, these permissions are required to create a domain and get set up with SageMaker AI. For information about adding policies, see Adding and removing IAM identity permissions in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide.
