Navigating multi-account deployments in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio: a governance-first approach

This article provides guidance on implementing multi-account deployments in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio with a governance-first approach.

• Multi-account architecture supports distributed teams, compliance requirements, centralized governance, and cost visibility
• Core constructs: Domain (governance), Project (workspace), Project Profile (template), Blueprints (infrastructure code)
• Domain account maintains centralized governance; associated accounts host actual compute and data resources
• Four implementation steps: account association, Blueprint enablement, Project Profile configuration, Project creation
• Project Profiles can use static (fixed location) or dynamic (user-selectable) deployment models
• Create new Projects for distinct business initiatives with separate cost tracking, access control, or compliance needs
• Avoid fragmenting related work into unnecessary Projects; keep related workflows together

This governance-first strategy enables organizations to enforce consistent security and compliance while allowing business units operational autonomy over their resources.
