Sagemaker and Data on Databases

Question

A customer has a question about data sources

Can someone comment on that?

Accepted Answer

We have an example notebook for interacting from Redshift data from a SageMaker managed notebook, which I believe is suitable for an Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) use-case: https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-sagemaker-examples/blob/master/advanced_functionality/working_with_redshift_data/working_with_redshift_data.ipynb

For production purposes, the customer should consider separating the job of first extracting data from relational databases to S3 (to build out a data lake), and then using that for downstream processing/machine learning (including SageMaker, EMR, Athena, Spectrum, etc.). Customers can build extraction pipelines from popular relational databases using AWS Glue, EMR, or their preferred ETL engines like those on the AWS Marketplace.

I'd recommend using SageMaker Data Wrangler to connects the dots of different SageMaker services. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/data-wrangler-import.html

Answer

for custom models, you could use Import data into Canvas from database dircetly :Connect to data in Amazon S3, Amazon Athena, or Amazon RDS
For Amazon RDS, if you have the AmazonSageMakerCanvasFullAccess policy attached to your user’s role, then you’ll be able to import data from your Amazon RDS databases into Canvas.
