# Lifecycle configurations within Amazon SageMaker Studio
<a name="studio-lifecycle-configurations"></a>

Lifecycle configurations (LCCs) are scripts that administrators and users can use to automate the customization of the following applications within your Amazon SageMaker Studio environment:
+ Amazon SageMaker AI JupyterLab
+ Code Editor, based on Code-OSS, Visual Studio Code - Open Source
+ Studio Classic
+ Notebook instance

Customizing your application includes:
+ Installing custom packages
+ Configuring extensions
+ Preloading datasets
+ Setting up source code repositories

Users create and attach built-in lifecycle configurations to their own user profiles. Administrators create and attach default or built-in lifecycle configurations at the domain, space, or user profile level.

**Important**  
Amazon SageMaker Studio first runs the built-in lifecycle configuration and then runs the default LCC. Amazon SageMaker AI won't resolve package conflicts between the user and administrator LCCs. For example, if the built-in LCC installs `python3.11` and the default LCC installs `python3.12`, Studio installs `python3.12`.
