TrainingStep should expose EnableManagedSpotTraining property to enable usage of EC2 spot instances

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Step Functions currently does not support the EnableManagedSpotTraining parameter for the Task state for SageMaker's CreateTrainingJob. You can find the list of SageMaker APIs and their respective supported parameters in the Step Functions Task state on this page: Manage Amazon SageMaker with Step Functions

Supporting the EnableManagedSpotTraining parameter is a valid use case and we will look into addressing this in Step Functions.

Thanks,
Vaib

The EnableManagedSpotTraining parameter is now supported in CreateTrainingJob per docs

Optimize the cost of training machine learning models by up to 80% by using Amazon EC2 Spot instances. For more information, see Managed Spot Training.

actually - i recant. It's still not a supported property through Step Functions service integrations yet.

Setting EnableManagedSpotTraining will be possible by defining that parameter in the TrainingStep parameters argument (see [See CreateTrainingJob request)

This will be available with next release
