AWS sagemaker high security documentation change

Service: sagemaker · 2026-06-19 · Security-related high

File: sagemaker/latest/dg/sagemaker-hyperpod-eks-ebs.md

Summary

Added 'Considerations' section warning against installing conflicting NVMe storage drivers that cause persistent data corruption and I/O failures.

Security assessment

Explicitly addresses data integrity risks from conflicting storage drivers that cause persistent corruption across reboots. Documents critical operational security controls to prevent data loss scenarios.

+## Considerations
+
+The SageMaker HyperPod AMI already manages local NVMe instance storage on every node. At boot, it combines all of the node's NVMe drives into a single LVM volume group (`vg.01`) and mounts the result at `/opt/sagemaker`. You do not need to install anything else to use local NVMe storage—it is ready to use as soon as the node is up.
+
+###### Important
+
+Do not install a second CSI driver that targets NVMe instance storage (sometimes called a Local Instance Storage CSI driver). A second storage manager conflicts with `vg.01` and causes NVMe I/O failures, mount failures, and corrupted device state that persists across node reboots and replacements.
+
+This restriction applies only to drivers that manage local NVMe instance storage. Network-backed CSI drivers (Amazon EBS, Amazon FSx, Amazon EFS, and Mountpoint for Amazon S3) are not affected because they do not access the local NVMe disks.
+
+The Amazon EBS CSI driver described on this page manages Amazon EBS volumes only and is not affected by this conflict. The conflict applies only to CSI drivers that manage local NVMe instance storage on the node.
+
+If you have already installed a CSI driver that targets NVMe instance storage and are seeing NVMe I/O errors, follow these steps:
+
+  1. Uninstall the local-instance-storage CSI driver add-on.
+
+  2. Replace the affected nodes (replacing approximately three at a time is recommended).
+
+  3. Verify that NVMe instance storage is restored. The restored state persists through subsequent reboots and replacements.
+
+
+
+
+###### Important
+
+Do not replace nodes before uninstalling the add-on. The conflict will recur on the new nodes, and the I/O errors will continue.
+
+To use NVMe instance storage on HyperPod, rely on the AMI's built-in LVM configuration through the standard mount path (`/opt/sagemaker`). For dynamically provisioned, pod-level block storage, use the Amazon EBS CSI driver as described in the rest of this page.
