Summary

Positron on Amazon SageMaker provides R, Python, Quarto and a Bedrock-backed Posit Assistant in a browser-based development environment. The image runs inside the customer’s AWS account under SageMaker execution roles, keeping data and credentials within the existing AWS boundary.

Why it matters

Data-science teams can move from exploration to model and pipeline development in one managed environment without introducing separate AI credentials or a new hosting boundary.
