AWS sagemaker: Update AWS account sign-up guidance in SageMaker AI setup

Service: sagemaker · 2026-10-21 · Documentation low

File: sagemaker/latest/dg/gs-set-up.md

Summary

Revised the SageMaker AI prerequisite setup text to explain the two AWS sign-up methods for creating an AWS account, rather than linking to a single account-creation page.

Security assessment

Only the account sign-up paragraph and its links were changed. No vulnerability fix, credential handling, or security best practice is documented, so this is a low-severity editorial change.

Evidence

+To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. There are two ways to sign up for AWS. If you want complete control over account configuration and where your content is stored, or if you have regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP, use [Sign up for AWS (advanced)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/getting-started.html). If you are a new user and want to use a login you already own to sign in to AWS and create an AWS environment with preconfigured defaults in select [AWS Regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/project-regions.html), use [Sign up for AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/sign-in-new.html).
