AWS sagemaker: Bump RStudio on SageMaker AI to Posit Workbench 2026.08.2+200.pro1

Service: sagemaker · 2026-10-07 · Documentation low

File: sagemaker/latest/dg/rstudio-version.md

Summary

Updates the RStudio on SageMaker AI version guide from `2025.05.1+513.pro3` to `2026.08.2+200.pro1`: new default/launch dates, supported R versions, deprecation dates, per-Region image ARNs (2025/2026 columns), BYOI `RSW_VERSION` example, and rewords version-mismatch and BYOI guidance. The `2024.04.2+764.pro1` version is moved into the deprecated/unsupported list.

Security assessment

This is a routine product/version lifecycle update (new Posit Workbench release, new image ARNs, shifted deprecation dates). It contains no authz, encryption, credential, or explicit vulnerability/CVE content; the only security-tinged lines removed/edited concern the old version no longer receiving POSIT vulnerability fixes, but the added text just recommends upgrading to the latest version and adds BYOI R-version guidance. No specific weakness or incident is addressed.

Evidence

+Versions `2024.04.2+764.pro1`, `2023.03.2-547.pro5`, and `2022.02.2-485.pro2` are deprecated and are no longer supported. We recommend updating to the latest version.
