Data engineers and data analysts using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio can now connect to and run queries with pre-existing Amazon Athena workgroups. This feature enables data teams to run SQL queries in SageMaker Unified Studio with the default settings and properties from existing Athena workgroups. Since Athena workgroups are used to manage query access and control costs, data engineers and data analysts can save time by reusing Athena workgroups as their SQL analytics compute while maintaining data usage limits and tracking query usage by team or project.
When choosing a compute for SQL analytics within SageMaker Unified Studio, customers can create a new Athena compute connection or choose to connect to an existing Athena workgroup. To get started, navigate to SageMaker Unified Studio, select “Add compute” and choose “Connect to existing compute resources”. Then create a connection to your pre-existing Athena workgroups and save. This new compute is now available within the SageMaker Unified Studio query editor to run SQL queries.
Connecting to Athena workgroups within SageMaker Unified Studio is available in all regions where SageMaker Unified Studio is supported.
To learn more, refer to the SageMaker Unified Studio Guide and Athena Workgroups Guide.
