Mon Sep 23 21:55:00 UTC 2024: ## Amazon SageMaker Studio Now Automatically Shuts Down Idle Applications for Cost Savings
**Seattle, WA – [Date]** – Amazon Web Services (AWS) today announced a new feature for its cloud-based machine learning platform, Amazon SageMaker Studio. The platform now automatically shuts down JupyterLab and CodeEditor applications after a period of inactivity, helping customers save costs by reducing idle instance usage.
Previously, users often left applications running even when not actively using them, leading to unnecessary charges. Now, administrators can configure idle shutdown time for applications using Amazon SageMaker Distribution image version 2.0 or newer. This configuration can be applied at the SageMaker domain or user profile level. Users can also modify the idle shutdown time based on their specific needs.
Once configured, SageMaker Studio will automatically detect when an application is idle and shut it down after the specified inactivity period. This feature provides customers with a valuable cost control mechanism, ensuring they only pay for the resources they actively utilize.
The new functionality is available in all AWS regions where SageMaker Studio is currently offered and can be easily configured through the SageMaker Console or APIs. For more information and detailed instructions, visit the official AWS documentation.
