Create a lifecycle configuration from the AWS CLI

Important

Custom IAM policies that allow Amazon SageMaker Studio or Amazon SageMaker Studio Classic to create Amazon SageMaker resources must also grant permissions to add tags to those resources. The permission to add tags to resources is required because Studio and Studio Classic automatically tag any resources they create. If an IAM policy allows Studio and Studio Classic to create resources but does not allow tagging, "AccessDenied" errors can occur when trying to create resources. For more information, see Provide permissions for tagging SageMaker resources.

AWS managed policies for Amazon SageMaker that give permissions to create SageMaker resources already include permissions to add tags while creating those resources.

Important

As of November 30, 2023, the previous Amazon SageMaker Studio experience is now named Amazon SageMaker Studio Classic. The following section is specific to using the Studio Classic application. For information about using the updated Studio experience, see Amazon SageMaker Studio.

The following topic shows how to create a lifecycle configuration using the AWS CLI to automate customization for your Studio Classic environment.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, complete the following prerequisites:

• Update the AWS CLI by following the steps in Installing the current AWS CLI Version.

• From your local machine, run aws configure and provide your AWS credentials. For information about AWS credentials, see Understanding and getting your AWS credentials.

• Onboard to SageMaker domain by following the steps in Amazon SageMaker domain overview.

Step 1: Create a lifecycle configuration

The following procedure shows how to create a lifecycle configuration script that prints Hello World.

Note

Each script can have up to 16,384 characters.

1. From your local machine, create a file named my-script.sh with the following content.

   #!/bin/bash
   set -eux
   echo 'Hello World!'

2. Convert your my-script.sh file into base64 format. This requirement prevents errors that occur from spacing and line break encoding.

   LCC_CONTENT=`openssl base64 -A -in my-script.sh`

3. Create a lifecycle configuration for use with Studio Classic. The following command creates a lifecycle configuration that runs when you launch an associated KernelGateway application.

   aws sagemaker create-studio-lifecycle-config \
   --region region \
   --studio-lifecycle-config-name my-studio-lcc \
   --studio-lifecycle-config-content $LCC_CONTENT \
   --studio-lifecycle-config-app-type KernelGateway 

   Note the ARN of the newly created lifecycle configuration that is returned. This ARN is required to attach the lifecycle configuration to your application.

Step 2: Attach the lifecycle configuration to your domain, user profile, or shared space

To attach the lifecycle configuration, you must update the UserSettings for your domain or user profile, or the SpaceSettings for a shared space. Lifecycle configuration scripts that are associated at the domain level are inherited by all users. However, scripts that are associated at the user profile level are scoped to a specific user, while scripts that are associated at the shared space level are scoped to the shared space.

The following example shows how to create a new user profile with the lifecycle configuration attached. You can also create a new domain or space with a lifecycle configuration attached by using the create-domain and create-space commands, respectively.

Add the lifecycle configuration ARN from the previous step to the settings for the appropriate app type. For example, place it in the JupyterServerAppSettings of the user. You can add multiple lifecycle configurations at the same time by passing a list of lifecycle configurations. When a user launches a JupyterServer application with the AWS CLI, they can pass a lifecycle configuration to use instead of the default. The lifecycle configuration that the user passes must belong to the list of lifecycle configurations in JupyterServerAppSettings.

# Create a new UserProfile
aws sagemaker create-user-profile --domain-id domain-id \
--user-profile-name user-profile-name \
--region region \
--user-settings '{
"JupyterServerAppSettings": {
  "LifecycleConfigArns":
    [lifecycle-configuration-arn-list]
  }
}'

The following example shows how to update an existing shared space to attach the lifecycle configuration. You can also update an existing domain or user profile with a lifecycle configuration attached by using the update-domain or update-user-profile command. When you update the list of lifecycle configurations attached, you must pass all lifecycle configurations as part of the list. If a lifecycle configuration is not part of this list, it will not be attached to the application.

aws sagemaker update-space --domain-id domain-id \
--space-name space-name \
--region region \
--space-settings '{
"JupyterServerAppSettings": {
  "LifecycleConfigArns":
    [lifecycle-configuration-arn-list]
  }
}'

For information about setting a default lifecycle configuration for a resource, see Set default lifecycle configurations.

Step 3: Launch application with lifecycle configuration

After you attach a lifecycle configuration to a domain, user profile, or space, the user can select it when launching an application with the AWS CLI. This section describes how to launch an application with an attached lifecycle configuration. For information about changing the default lifecycle configuration after launching a JupyterServer application, see Set default lifecycle configurations.

Launch the desired application type using the create-app command and specify the lifecycle configuration ARN in the resource-spec argument.

• The following example shows how to create a JupyterServer application with an associated lifecycle configuration. When creating the JupyterServer, the app-name must be default. The lifecycle configuration ARN passed as part of the resource-spec parameter must be part of the list of lifecycle configuration ARNs specified in UserSettings for your domain or user profile, or SpaceSettings for a shared space.

  aws sagemaker create-app --domain-id domain-id \
  --region region \
  --user-profile-name user-profile-name \
  --app-type JupyterServer \
  --resource-spec LifecycleConfigArn=lifecycle-configuration-arn \
  --app-name default

• The following example shows how to create a KernelGateway application with an associated lifecycle configuration.

  aws sagemaker create-app --domain-id domain-id \
  --region region \
  --user-profile-name user-profile-name \
  --app-type KernelGateway \
  --resource-spec LifecycleConfigArn=lifecycle-configuration-arn,SageMakerImageArn=sagemaker-image-arn,InstanceType=instance-type \
  --app-name app-name
