RStudio Versioning

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.

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

This guide provides information about the 2025.05.1+513.pro3 version update for RStudio on SageMaker AI. Starting October 31, 2025, new domains with RStudio support are created with Posit Workbench version 2025.05.1+513.pro3. This applies to the RStudioServerPro applications and default RSessionGateway applications.

The following sections provide information about the 2025.05.1+513.pro3 release.

For more information about the changes in this release, see https://docs.posit.co/ide/news/.

Note

To ensure compatibility, we recommend using RSessions with a prefix that matches the current Posit Workbench version.

If you see the following warning, there is a version mismatch between the RSession and the Posit Workbench version used in RStudio on SageMaker AI. To resolve this issue, update the RStudio version for the domain. For information about updating the RStudio version, see Upgrade to the new version.

Session version 2024.04.2+764.pro1 does not match server version 2025.05.1+513.pro3 - this is an unsupported configuration, and you may experience unexpected issues as a result.

Versioning

There are currently two versions of Posit Workbench supported by SageMaker AI.

  • Latest version: 2025.05.1+513.pro3

    Deprecation Date: December 5, 2026

  • Previous version: 2024.04.2+764.pro1

    Deprecation Date: April 30, 2026

Note

To allow for enough time for customers to try out the 2025 version, SageMaker AI will support version 2024.04.2+764.pro1 until April 2026.

Versions 2023.03.2-547.pro5 and 2022.02.2-485.pro2 are deprecated and are no longer supported. We recommend updating to the latest version.

The default Posit Workbench version that SageMaker AI selects depends on the creation date of the domain.

  • For domains created after October 31, 2025, version 2025.05.1+513.pro3 is the default selected version.

  • For domains created after September 04, 2024 and before October 31, 2025, version 2024.04.2+764.pro1 is the default selected version. You can update your domains to the latest version (2025.05.1+513.pro3) by setting it as the default version for the domain. For more information, see Upgrade to the new version.

Note

The default RSessionGateway application version matches the current version of the RStudioServerPro application.

The following table lists the image ARNs for both versions for each Amazon Web Services Region. These ARNs are passed as part of an update-domain command to set the desired version.

Changes to BYOI Images

If you use a BYOI image with RStudio and update your RStudioServerPro version to 2025.05.1+513.pro3, you must upgrade your custom images to use the 2025.05.1+513.pro3 release and redeploy your existing RSessions. If you attempt to load a non-compatible image in an RSession of a domain using the 2025.05.1+513.pro3 version, the RSession fails because it cannot parse parameters that it receives. To prevent failure, update all of the deployed custom images in your existing RStudioServerPro application.

The RSW_VERSION in the Dockerfile must be consistent with the Posit Workbench version used in RStudio on SageMaker AI. You can validate the current version in Posit Workbench. To do so, use the version name that's located in the lower left corner of the Posit Workbench launcher page.
