Amazon SageMaker Catalog
Discover, govern, and collaborate on data and AI securely
Overview
The next generation of Amazon SageMaker simplifies the discovery, governance, and collaboration for data and AI across your lakehouse, AI models, and applications. With Amazon SageMaker Catalog, built on Amazon DataZone, users can securely discover and access approved data and models using semantic search with generative AI–created metadata, or you could just ask Amazon Q Developer with natural language to find your data. Users can consistently define and enforce access policies using a single permission model with fine-grained access controls centrally in the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio. Seamlessly share and collaborate on data and AI assets through easy publishing and subscribing workflows. With SageMaker, you can safeguard and protect your AI models using Amazon Bedrock Guardrails and implement responsible AI policies. Build trust throughout your organization with data quality monitoring and automation, sensitive data detection, and data and machine learning (ML) lineage.

Benefits
Features
Curated data for context and findability
The SageMaker Catalog brings business context to your technical metadata and allows you to enrich it with business context. You can make data visible with business context for all your users to quickly and easily find, understand, and trust data.
Automated metadata recommendations
Automate adding business descriptions and names to data, which helps you easily understand context and avoid dealing with cryptic technical names. This automation is powered by large language models (LLMs) to increase accuracy and consistency.
Bring a consistent level of AI safety across all your applications
Amazon Bedrock guardrails help evaluate user inputs and foundation models (FMs) responses based on use case–specific policies, and provides an additional layer of safeguards regardless of the underlying FMs.
Quickly audit and track models
Quickly audit and troubleshoot performance for all models, endpoints, and model-monitoring jobs through a unified view. Track deviations from expected model behavior and missing or inactive monitoring jobs with automated alerts.
Data quality
With data quality statistics, data consumers can see data quality metrics from AWS or third-party systems. Data consumers can trust the data sources they use for decisions and have data quality context as they search for assets. Data producers and IT teams can also use APIs to incorporate data quality statistics from third-party systems into a unified, out-of-console portal.
Data and ML lineage
Understand the movement of data and models over time. Lineage can raise trust and an organization’s data and AI literacy by helping data consumers understand where data came from, how it changed, and its consumption. You can reduce time spent in mapping data and AI assets and their relationships, troubleshooting and developing pipelines, and asserting data and AI governance practices.

"You want to discover, share, and govern your data. Whether you call it a data mesh or a data fabric, data exists across different teams in multiple silos, and you need a way to bring it together. Amazon SageMaker Catalog connects data producers and consumers, enabling producers to share data with built-in controls and data contracts while allowing consumers to access the data using the tools of their choice"
Shaja Arul Selvamani, Sr. Director AI/ML, Cisco

Natera, Inc.
"Our organization has been leveraging Amazon DataZone, Amazon SageMaker AI, Amazon Athena, and Amazon Redshift to manage and analyze our clinical and genomic data. We are excited to now have the unified governance of the Amazon SageMaker Catalog, which will streamline our data discovery and access, enabling our team to quickly analyze relevant data across our whole domain. This integration will help us create tailored datasets, potentially reducing our time-to-insight, and ultimately drive improved patient outcomes as we advance our goal of making personalized genetic testing a standard part of care."
Mirko Buholzer, VP of Software Engineering, Natera, Inc.

"Our Data Platform Engineering team has been deploying multiple end-user tools for data engineering, ML, SQL, and gen AI tasks. As we look to simplify processes across the bank, we’ve been looking at streamlining user authentication and data access authorization. Amazon SageMaker delivers a ready-made user experience to help us deploy one single environment across the organization, reducing the time required for our data users to access new tools by around 50%."
