CreateTrainingJob
Starts a model training job. After training completes, SageMaker saves the resulting model artifacts to an Amazon S3 location that you specify.
If you choose to host your model using SageMaker hosting services, you can use the resulting model artifacts as part of the model. You can also use the artifacts in a machine learning service other than SageMaker, provided that you know how to use them for inference.
In the request body, you provide the following:
-
AlgorithmSpecification
- Identifies the training algorithm to use. -
HyperParameters
- Specify these algorithm-specific parameters to enable the estimation of model parameters during training. Hyperparameters can be tuned to optimize this learning process. For a list of hyperparameters for each training algorithm provided by SageMaker, see Algorithms.Important
Do not include any security-sensitive information including account access IDs, secrets or tokens in any hyperparameter field. If the use of security-sensitive credentials are detected, SageMaker will reject your training job request and return an exception error.
-
InputDataConfig
- Describes the input required by the training job and the Amazon S3, EFS, or FSx location where it is stored. -
OutputDataConfig
- Identifies the Amazon S3 bucket where you want SageMaker to save the results of model training. -
ResourceConfig
- Identifies the resources, ML compute instances, and ML storage volumes to deploy for model training. In distributed training, you specify more than one instance. -
EnableManagedSpotTraining
- Optimize the cost of training machine learning models by up to 80% by using Amazon EC2 Spot instances. For more information, see Managed Spot Training. -
RoleArn
- The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that SageMaker assumes to perform tasks on your behalf during model training. You must grant this role the necessary permissions so that SageMaker can successfully complete model training. -
StoppingCondition
- To help cap training costs, useMaxRuntimeInSeconds
to set a time limit for training. UseMaxWaitTimeInSeconds
to specify how long a managed spot training job has to complete. -
Environment
- The environment variables to set in the Docker container. -
RetryStrategy
- The number of times to retry the job when the job fails due to anInternalServerError
.

Required: Yes
- CheckpointConfig
-
Contains information about the output location for managed spot training checkpoint data.
Type: CheckpointConfig object
Required: No
- DebugHookConfig
-
Configuration information for the Amazon SageMaker Debugger hook parameters, metric and tensor collections, and storage paths. To learn more about how to configure the
DebugHookConfig
parameter, see Use the SageMaker and Debugger Configuration API Operations to Create, Update, and Debug Your Training Job.Type: DebugHookConfig object
Required: No
- DebugRuleConfigurations
-
Configuration information for Amazon SageMaker Debugger rules for debugging output tensors.
Type: Array of DebugRuleConfiguration objects
Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 20 items.
Required: No
- EnableInterContainerTrafficEncryption
-
To encrypt all communications between ML compute instances in distributed training, choose
True
. Encryption provides greater security for distributed training, but training might take longer. How long it takes depends on the amount of communication between compute instances, especially if you use a deep learning algorithm in distributed training. For more information, see Protect Communications Between ML Compute Instances in a Distributed Training Job.Type: Boolean
Required: No
- EnableManagedSpotTraining
-
To train models using managed spot training, choose
True
. Managed spot training provides a fully managed and scalable infrastructure for training machine learning models. this option is useful when training jobs can be interrupted and when there is flexibility when the training job is run.The complete and intermediate results of jobs are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket, and can be used as a starting point to train models incrementally. Amazon SageMaker provides metrics and logs in CloudWatch. They can be used to see when managed spot training jobs are running, interrupted, resumed, or completed.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
- EnableNetworkIsolation
-
Isolates the training container. No inbound or outbound network calls can be made, except for calls between peers within a training cluster for distributed training. If you enable network isolation for training jobs that are configured to use a VPC, SageMaker downloads and uploads customer data and model artifacts through the specified VPC, but the training container does not have network access.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
- Environment
-
The environment variables to set in the Docker container.
Type: String to string map
Map Entries: Maximum number of 100 items.

You can specify a maximum of 100 hyperparameters. Each hyperparameter is a key-value pair. Each key and value is limited to 256 characters, as specified by the
Length Constraint
.Important
Do not include any security-sensitive information including account access IDs, secrets or tokens in any hyperparameter field. If the use of security-sensitive credentials are detected, SageMaker will reject your training job request and return an exception error.
Type: String to string map
Map Entries: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 100 items.
Key Length Constraints: Maximum length of 256.
Key Pattern:
.*

Type: InfraCheckConfig object
Required: No
- InputDataConfig
-
An array of
Channel
objects. Each channel is a named input source.InputDataConfig
describes the input data and its location.Algorithms can accept input data from one or more channels. For example, an algorithm might have two channels of input data,
training_data
andvalidation_data
. The configuration for each channel provides the S3, EFS, or FSx location where the input data is stored. It also provides information about the stored data: the MIME type, compression method, and whether the data is wrapped in RecordIO format.Depending on the input mode that the algorithm supports, SageMaker either copies input data files from an S3 bucket to a local directory in the Docker container, or makes it available as input streams. For example, if you specify an EFS location, input data files are available as input streams. They do not need to be downloaded.
Your input must be in the same AWS region as your training job.
Type: Array of Channel objects
Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 20 items.
Required: No
- OutputDataConfig
-
Specifies the path to the S3 location where you want to store model artifacts. SageMaker creates subfolders for the artifacts.

-
Configuration information for Amazon SageMaker Debugger system monitoring, framework profiling, and storage paths.
Type: ProfilerConfig object
Required: No
- ProfilerRuleConfigurations
-
Configuration information for Amazon SageMaker Debugger rules for profiling system and framework metrics.
Type: Array of ProfilerRuleConfiguration objects
Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 20 items.

InternalServerError
.Type: RetryStrategy object
Required: No
- RoleArn
-
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role that SageMaker can assume to perform tasks on your behalf.
During model training, SageMaker needs your permission to read input data from an S3 bucket, download a Docker image that contains training code, write model artifacts to an S3 bucket, write logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, and publish metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. You grant permissions for all of these tasks to an IAM role. For more information, see SageMaker Roles.
Note
To be able to pass this role to SageMaker, the caller of this API must have the
iam:PassRole
permission.Type: String

Specifies a limit to how long a model training job can run. It also specifies how long a managed Spot training job has to complete. When the job reaches the time limit, SageMaker ends the training job. Use this API to cap model training costs.
To stop a job, SageMaker sends the algorithm the
SIGTERM
signal, which delays job termination for 120 seconds. Algorithms can use this 120-second window to save the model artifacts, so the results of training are not lost.Type: StoppingCondition object
Required: Yes
