Amazon SageMaker Studio now supports recovery mode for applications

We are excited to announce that Amazon SageMaker Studio now supports recovery mode, enabling users to regain access to their JupyterLab and Code Editor applications when configuration issues prevent normal startup.

Starting today, when users encounter application startup failures due to issues such as corrupted Conda configuration or insufficient storage space, they can launch their application in recovery mode on Studio UI or using AWS CLI. When configuration issues occur, users see a warning banner with the recommended solution and can choose to run their space in recovery mode. This simplified environment provides access to essential features like terminal and file explorer, allowing users to diagnose and fix configuration issues without administrator intervention. This functionality provides users with an important self-service mechanism, helping them minimize workspace downtime.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon SageMaker Studio is currently available, excluding China Regions and GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more, visit our documentation.
