AWS sagemaker documentation change

Service: sagemaker · 2026-04-10 · Documentation low

File: sagemaker/latest/dg/remote-access.md

Summary

Updated documentation to expand remote access support from Visual Studio Code only to multiple Remote IDEs (including Kiro and Cursor), updated terminology, and added new sections for IDE version requirements and supported AWS regions.

Security assessment

The changes are feature expansions and terminology updates to support multiple IDEs (Kiro, Cursor) alongside VS Code. There is no mention of security vulnerabilities, patches, or security incidents. The document continues to describe secure connection methods (secure tunnel, SSH) but does not introduce new security documentation or address a specific security issue.
