Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio launches support for remote connection from Cursor IDE

Today, AWS announces remote connection from Cursor IDE to Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio via the AWS Toolkit extension. This new capability allows data scientists, ML engineers, and developers to leverage their Cursor setup - including its AI-powered code completion, natural language editing, and multi-file editing capabilities - while accessing the scalable compute resources of Amazon SageMaker. By connecting Cursor to SageMaker Unified Studio using the AWS Toolkit extension, you can eliminate context switching between your local IDE and cloud infrastructure, maintaining your existing AI-assisted development workflows within a single environment for all your AWS analytics and AI/ML services.

SageMaker Unified Studio, part of the next generation of Amazon SageMaker, offers a broad set of fully managed cloud interactive development environments (IDE), including JupyterLab and Code Editor based on Code-OSS (Open-Source Software). Starting today, you can also use your customized local Cursor setup - complete with custom rules, extensions, and AI model preferences - while accessing your compute resources and data on Amazon SageMaker. Since Cursor is built on Code-OSS, authentication is secure via IAM through the AWS Toolkit extension, giving you access to all your SageMaker Unified Studio domains and projects. This integration provides a convenient path from your local AI-powered development environment to scalable infrastructure for running workloads across data processing, SQL analytics services like Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, and Amazon Athena, and ML workflows - all with enterprise-grade security including customer-managed encryption keys and AWS IAM integration.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio is available. To learn more, visit the local IDE support documentation..
