Previously exclusive to IAM domains, SageMaker Unified Studio in 2026 supported serverless notebooks with an integrated AI data agent for AWS IAM Identity Center (IdC) domains. This allows users authenticating via IdC to leverage a high-performance interactive workspace for SQL, Python, machine learning tasks, and visualizations.

The built-in AI data agent accelerates development by generating code and SQL from natural language prompts, enabling seamless transitions between SQL, Python, and natural language inputs. The notebooks scale using Amazon Athena for Apache Spark, supporting workloads from interactive queries to petabyte-level data processing across supported AWS regions.
