In this video, we cover:

  • Creating and configuring a Positron space in SageMaker Studio
  • Opening Positron with Python and R already installed
  • Running a Shiny application that chats with data in Amazon Athena, using a model on Amazon Bedrock
  • Using Posit Assistant to work with foundation models through Bedrock for code and data science tasks
  • Tracking token usage and cost estimates while you work

Positron runs inside your AWS environment, so you get access to S3, Athena, Bedrock, and other AWS services without re-establishing credentials. The setup stays reproducible and governed, and you can monitor cost and usage as you go.
