Get the Amazon SageMaker Boto 3 Client

Import Amazon SageMaker Python SDK, AWS SDK for Python (Boto3), and other Python libraries. In a new Jupyter notebook, paste the following code to the first cell:

import sagemaker
import boto3

import numpy as np                                # For performing matrix operations and numerical processing
import pandas as pd                               # For manipulating tabular data
from time import gmtime, strftime
import os

region = boto3.Session().region_name
smclient = boto3.Session().client('sagemaker')

The preceding code cell defines region and smclient objects that you will use to call the built-in XGBoost algorithm and set the SageMaker hyperparameter tuning job.
