I remember the announcement of Sagemaker at an AWS summit, a moment of profound embarrassment - the whole thing was barely a Jupyter notebook glued to some EC2 stuff with duct tape.

You're right, they're definitely doing things for the sole purpose of locking you in.

I still do not understand any of the value add of Sagemaker.

...have you looked at it recently? It's a MASSIVE suite of services, tools, and capabilities...https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/

You still have to compile your own Docker image and then "run it" from a Jupyter notebook if you are not using their Estimators (who uses those?). What is the point of just launching Docker images from Jupyter notebooks and looking a different window to see the log?

Serving is ok on Sagemaker, i will admit. The new ones: feature store, pipelines, and data wrangler - we will see, all rushed (some more than others).
