Posit's Positron development environment now runs as a custom image in Amazon SageMaker AI, giving data scientists one browser-based workspace for R, Python, governed AWS data access, model deployment and reporting. Administrators build Posit's image definition, store it in their own Amazon ECR repository and attach it to a SageMaker Studio domain.

Workloads inherit the Studio Space execution role, removing the need to store separate AWS keys. Posit Assistant can also use Amazon Bedrock models in the customer's account and region. Adoption requires a Posit license, administrative configuration and customer-managed security, networking, updates and operational controls.
