SageMaker waste check
Idle SageMaker Notebook
idle_sagemaker_notebook
What it finds
Idle SageMaker Notebook: one of the SageMaker checks in the ml/ai optimization group. Checks in this group look for: machine learning endpoints and notebooks that are idle, stopped but still billing for storage, or larger than their workload needs.
Why it costs money
Hosted notebooks and endpoints bill for the instance hours and storage they hold, not for the models they serve.
How it is detected
InService with no start, change or Jupyter log activity in the window
Detection confidence: MEDIUM. This is the criterion from our public docs. It runs in a local scan with your own read-only credentials.
Run it yourself
Nothing leaves your machine. The local scan has no telemetry.
