AWS IAM Identity Center introduces support for user background sessions with Amazon SageMaker Studio

News

AWS IAM Identity Center has introduced a new feature called user background sessions for Amazon SageMaker Studio, enabling long-running jobs to continue even after a user logs off.

  • Allows SageMaker Studio jobs to run up to 90 days without user being signed in
  • Leverages user identity permissions and corporate directory group associations
  • Supports data access across multiple AWS services like Athena, EMR, Lake Formation, Redshift, and S3
  • Built on trusted identity propagation (TIP) capability
  • Administrators can track, update, and terminate background sessions via CloudTrail

This feature enhances workflow flexibility by allowing long-running computational tasks to continue independently of user session status.
