The SageMaker Estimator SDK tool helps you efficiently train and deploy machine learning models.
How to Use the SageMaker Estimator Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the cost and time for running a SageMaker training job based on various parameters. Fill in the details about your instance type, instance count, volume size, max run time, AWS region, model name, and any hyperparameters you need. The calculator uses these inputs to estimate the total cost and time required for your job.
Limitations:
Please note that the calculator uses placeholder values for cost per hour and volume cost per GB for different instance types. For accurate pricing, refer to the AWS SageMaker Pricing page. Also, the validation is basic and does not cover all edge cases. Ensure your inputs are correct for a valid estimate.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Model Training with Custom Algorithms
With SageMaker Estimator SDK, you can easily train models using your own custom algorithms. It lets you define your training script and specify the necessary dependencies, making it a perfect fit for specialized machine learning tasks.
