- Adds support for custom Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) on SageMaker HyperPod Slurm clusters, letting customers embed security agents, compliance tools, and proprietary libraries.
- Custom AMIs can be specified during cluster creation, added via UpdateCluster, or patched with UpdateClusterSoftware, while still requiring HyperPod base AMIs for compatibility.
- Improves startup speed, consistency, and simplifies meeting enterprise security and compliance requirements.
