Amazon SageMaker Local Mode Examples

This repository contains examples and related resources showing you how to preprocess, train, debug your training script with breakpoints, and serve on your local machine using Amazon SageMaker Local mode for processing jobs, training and serving.

SageMaker Studio now supports local mode and Docker: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/12/sagemaker-studio-local-mode-docker/

Read the Blog Post: Accelerate ML workflows with Amazon SageMaker Studio Local Mode and Docker support

Overview

The local mode in the Amazon SageMaker Python SDK can emulate CPU (single and multi-instance) and GPU (single instance) SageMaker training jobs by changing a single argument in the TensorFlow, PyTorch or MXNet estimators. To do this, it uses Docker compose and NVIDIA Docker. It will also pull the Amazon SageMaker TensorFlow, PyTorch or MXNet containers from Amazon ECS, so you’ll need to be able to access a public Amazon ECR repository from your local environment.
