🐾Security group rules for SageMaker🐾

🤓 When deploying SageMaker Studio in production, most organizations opt for VPC-only mode to enhance security. And, I've found that 80% of SageMaker Studio their issues are network-related, with security group configurations being the primary challenge. Let’s figure out how Studio communicates and use security groups, and which rules you need to add.

How SageMaker Studio communicates

SageMaker Studio communication includes the following components:

• Jupyter Server container

• Kernel Gateway containers

• EFS volume (for storing notebooks)

• Interface and Gateway endpoints (communication with S3, SageMaker endpoints, Lambda endpoint, etc.)

• Internet (to install packages and libraries)

• (Optional) EMR cluster

Security group rules

Taking into account all the communication components, we need the following rules to be added to the SageMaker Studio security group:

In case you use EMR clusters, you need to add an outbound rule for port 8998 for the primary node security group.
