Demystifying SageMaker Studio notebooks, instances, and kernels
Figure 2.10 is an architectural diagram of the SageMaker Studio domain and how a notebook kernel relates to other components. There are four entities we need to understand here:
- EC2 instance: The hardware that the notebook runs on. You can choose what instance type to use based on the vCPU, GPU, and amount of memory. The instance type determines the pricing rate, which can be found in https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/pricing/.
- SageMaker image: A container image that can be run on SageMaker Studio. It contains language packages and other files required to run a notebook. You can run multiple images in an EC2 instance.
- KernelGateway app: A SageMaker image runs as a KernelGateway app. There is a one-to-one relationship between a SageMaker image and a KernelGateway app.
- Kernel: A process that runs the code in a notebook. There can be multiple kernels in a SageMaker image.
