- AWS SageMaker  CER-0333

### [Idle SageMaker Notebook Instances Left Running Continuously](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/inefficiencies/idle-sagemaker-notebook-instances-left-running-continuously)

SageMaker notebook instances are billed continuously while in an active state - and critically, they do not automatically shut down when idle. Closing a browser tab, shutting down a Jupyter kernel, or simply walking away does not stop the...

### [SageMaker Studio Applications Without Idle Shutdown](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/inefficiencies/sagemaker-studio-applications-without-idle-shutdown)

In SageMaker Studio, each running JupyterLab or Code Editor application runs on an instance that is billed for as long as the application is running, whether or not the user is doing anything. Data scientists routinely leave spaces running...

### [On-Demand SageMaker Training Jobs Without Managed Spot Training](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/inefficiencies/on-demand-sagemaker-training-jobs-without-managed-spot-training)

SageMaker training and hyperparameter tuning jobs run on on-demand instances unless managed spot training is explicitly enabled on the job. Many training workloads tolerate interruption: experiments, scheduled retraining, tuning sweeps and...

### [Idle SageMaker Real-Time Inference Endpoint](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/inefficiencies/idle-sagemaker-real-time-inference-endpoint)

A SageMaker real-time inference endpoint keeps its instances running and billed for as long as the endpoint is in service, whether or not any application calls it. Endpoints are created for model evaluations, demos, A/B tests, proofs of...

### [Low SageMaker AI Savings Plans Coverage for Steady ML Compute](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/inefficiencies/low-sagemaker-ai-savings-plans-coverage-for-steady-ml-compute)

Many SageMaker AI environments have a predictable instance baseline: real-time inference endpoints that serve production traffic around the clock, recurring training and processing jobs, batch transform runs and notebooks used every...
