RStudio on Amazon SageMaker
RStudio is an integrated development environment for R, with a console, syntax-highlighting
editor that supports direct code execution, and tools for plotting, history, debugging and
workspace management. Amazon SageMaker supports RStudio as a fully-managed integrated development
environment (IDE) integrated with Amazon SageMaker domain through Posit Workbench. For more information
about Posit Workbench, see the Posit website
RStudio allows customers to create data science insights using an R environment. With RStudio integration, you can launch an RStudio environment in the domain to run your RStudio workflows on SageMaker resources.
SageMaker integrates RStudio through the creation of a RStudioServerPro app.
The following are supported by RStudio on SageMaker.
-
R developers use the RStudio IDE interface with popular developer tools from the R ecosystem. Users can launch new RStudio sessions, write R code, install dependencies from RStudio Package Manager, and publish Shiny apps using RStudio Connect.
-
R developers can quickly scale underlying compute resources to run large scale data processing and statistical analysis.
-
Platform administrators can set up user identities, authorization, networking, storage, and security for their data science teams through Amazon IAM Identity Center and Amazon Identity and Access Management integration. This includes connection to private Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) resources and internet-free mode with Amazon PrivateLink.
-
Integration with Amazon License Manager.

RStudio components
-
RStudioServerPro: The RStudioServerPro app is a multiuser app that is a shared resource among all user profiles in the domain. Once an RStudio app is created in a domain, the admin can give permissions to users in the domain.
-
RStudio user: RStudio users are users within the domain that are authorized to use the RStudio license.
-
RStudio admin: An RStudio on Amazon SageMaker admin can access the RStudio administrative dashboard. RStudio on Amazon SageMaker admins differ from "stock" Posit Workbench admins because they do not have root access to the instance running the RStudioServerPro app and can't modify the RStudio configuration file.
-
RStudio Server: The RStudio Server instance is responsible for serving the RStudio UI to all authorized Users. This instance is launched on an Amazon SageMaker instance.
-
RSession: An RSession is a browser-based interface to the RStudio IDE running on an Amazon SageMaker instance. Users can create and interact with their RStudio projects through the RSession.
-
RSessionGateway: The RSessionGateway app is used to support an RSession.
-
RStudio administrative dashboard: This dashboard gives information on the RStudio users in the Amazon SageMaker domain and their sessions. This dashboard can only be accessed by users that have RStudio admin authorization.
