Create an Amazon SageMaker AI domain with RStudio using the AWS CLI

Important

Custom IAM policies that allow Amazon SageMaker Studio or Amazon SageMaker Studio Classic to create Amazon SageMaker resources must also grant permissions to add tags to those resources. The permission to add tags to resources is required because Studio and Studio Classic automatically tag any resources they create. If an IAM policy allows Studio and Studio Classic to create resources but does not allow tagging, "AccessDenied" errors can occur when trying to create resources. For more information, see Provide permissions for tagging SageMaker AI resources.

AWS managed policies for Amazon SageMaker AI that give permissions to create SageMaker resources already include permissions to add tags while creating those resources.

The following topic shows how to onboard to Amazon SageMaker AI domain with RStudio enabled using the AWS CLI. To onboard using the AWS Management Console, see Amazon SageMaker AI domain overview.

Prerequisites

Install and configure AWS CLI version 2
Configure the AWS CLI with IAM credentials

Create `DomainExecution` role

To launch the RStudio App, you must provide a DomainExecution role. This role is used to determine whether RStudio needs to be launched as part of Amazon SageMaker AI domain creation. This role is also used by Amazon SageMaker AI to access the RStudio License and push RStudio logs.

Note

The DomainExecution role should have at least AWS License Manager permissions to access RStudio License, and CloudWatch permissions to push logs in your account.

The following procedure shows how to create the DomainExecution role with the AWS CLI.

Create a file named assume-role-policy.json with the following content.


{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "Service": [
                    "sagemaker.amazonaws.com"
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

Create the DomainExecution role. <REGION> should be the AWS Region to launch your domain in.


aws iam create-role --region <REGION> --role-name DomainExecution --assume-role-policy-document file://assume-role-policy.json

Create a file named domain-setting-policy.json with the following content. This policy allows the RStudioServerPro app to access necessary resources and allows Amazon SageMaker AI to automatically launch an RStudioServerPro app when the existing RStudioServerPro app is in a Deleted or Failed status.


{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "license-manager:ExtendLicenseConsumption",
                "license-manager:ListReceivedLicenses",
                "license-manager:GetLicense",
                "license-manager:CheckoutLicense",
                "license-manager:CheckInLicense",
                "logs:CreateLogDelivery",
                "logs:CreateLogGroup",
                "logs:CreateLogStream",
                "logs:DeleteLogDelivery",
                "logs:Describe*",
                "logs:GetLogDelivery",
                "logs:GetLogEvents",
                "logs:ListLogDeliveries",
                "logs:PutLogEvents",
                "logs:PutResourcePolicy",
                "logs:UpdateLogDelivery",
                "sagemaker:CreateApp"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Create the domain setting policy that is attached to the DomainExecution role. Be aware of the PolicyArn from the response, you will need to enter that ARN in the following steps.
```
aws iam create-policy --region <REGION> --policy-name domain-setting-policy --policy-document file://domain-setting-policy.json
```
Attach domain-setting-policy to the DomainExecution role. Use the PolicyArn returned in the previous step.
```
aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name DomainExecution --policy-arn <POLICY_ARN>
```

Create Amazon SageMaker AI domain with RStudio App

The RStudioServerPro app is launched automatically when you create a Amazon SageMaker AI domain using the create-domain CLI command with the RStudioServerProDomainSettings parameter specified. When launching the RStudioServerPro App, Amazon SageMaker AI checks for a valid RStudio license in the account and fails domain creation if the license is not found.

The creation of a Amazon SageMaker AI domain differs based on the authentication method and the network type. These options must be used together, with one authentication method and one network connection type selected. For more information about the requirements to create a new domain, see CreateDomain.

The following authentication methods are supported.

IAM Auth
SSO Auth

The following network connection types are supported:

PublicInternet
VPCOnly

vpc-id should be the ID of your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. subnet-ids should be a space-separated list of subnet IDs. Your private subnet must be able to either access the internet to make a call to Amazon SageMaker AI, and AWS License Manager or have Amazon VPC endpoints for both Amazon SageMaker AI and AWS License Manager. For information about Amazon VPC endpoints, see Interface Amazon VPC endpoints For information about vpc-id and subnet-ids, see VPCs and subnets.
SecurityGroups must allow outbound access to the Amazon SageMaker AI and AWS License Manager endpoints.
auth-mode should be either SSO or IAM.

Note

When using Amazon Virtual Private Cloud endpoints, the security group attached to your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud endpoints must allow inbound traffic from the security group you pass as part of the domain-setting parameter of the create-domain CLI call.

With RStudio, Amazon SageMaker AI manages security groups for you. This means that Amazon SageMaker AI manages security group rules to ensure RSessions can access RStudioServerPro Apps. Amazon SageMaker AI creates one security group rule per user profile.


aws sagemaker create-domain --region <REGION> --domain-name <DOMAIN_NAME> \
    --auth-mode <AUTH_MODE> \
    --default-user-settings SecurityGroups=<USER_SECURITY_GROUP>,ExecutionRole=<DEFAULT_USER_EXECUTIONROLE> \
    --domain-settings SecurityGroupIds=<DOMAIN_SECURITY_GROUP>,RStudioServerProDomainSettings={DomainExecutionRoleArn=<DOMAINEXECUTION_ROLE_ARN>} \
    --vpc-id <VPC_ID> \
    --subnet-ids "<SUBNET_IDS>" \
    --app-network-access-type VPCOnly --app-security-group-management Service

Note: The RStudioServerPro app is launched by a special user profile named domain-shared. As a result, this app is not returned as part of list-app API calls by any other user profiles.

You may have to increase the Amazon VPC quota in your account to increase the number of users. For more information, see Amazon VPC quotas.

Verify domain creation

Use the following command to verify that your domain has been created with a Status of InService. Your domain-id is appended to the domains ARN. For example, arn:aws:sagemaker:<REGION>:<ACCOUNT_ID>:domain/<DOMAIN_ID>.


aws sagemaker describe-domain --domain-id <DOMAIN_ID> --region <REGION>
