What is SageMaker?

Amazon SageMaker (https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/) is a fully-managed Machine Learning platform that makes it easy to build ML models, manage them, and integrate them with custom applications for batch or online predictions. SageMaker takes away the “heavy-lifting” normally associated with large-scale Machine Learning implementations so that developers and scientists can focus on the truly creative work of modeling and solving the business problem at hand.

What is SageMaker Studio?

SageMaker Studio is AWS’ fully Integrated Development Environment for Machine Learning. It’s our end-user-focused single-pane-of-glass for interfacing with SageMaker and a plethora of ML technologies.
