Service: sagemaker · 2025-07-25 · Documentation medium

File: sagemaker/latest/dg/remote-access-local-ide-setup.md

Restructured documentation, added SSH CLI connection steps with Session Manager, and clarified setup requirements

Security assessment

Added SSH CLI connection instructions using AWS Session Manager, which is a security best practice for secure access. However, this documents existing security features rather than addressing a specific vulnerability.
