Amazon SageMaker Canvas

Build highly accurate ML models using a visual interface, no code required

What is SageMaker Canvas?

Amazon SageMaker Canvas empowers you to transform data at petabyte-scale, and build, evaluate, and deploy production-ready machine learning (ML) models without coding. It streamlines the end-to-end ML lifecycle in a unified and secure enterprise environment. With Amazon Q Developer now available in SageMaker Canvas, you can get guidance throughout your ML journey – from data preparation to model deployment – using conversational chat

SageMaker Canvas fosters collaboration across teams, provides transparency into the generated code, and ensures governance through model versioning and access controls. With SageMaker Canvas, you can accelerate innovation and more quickly solve business problems by democratizing ML development across all skill levels and regardless of coding expertise.

SageMaker Canvas Benefits
