New AWS sign-in lets new users land directly in Amazon SageMaker Studio with $100 credits
AWS now lets new customers create an account using Google, GitHub, Apple, Amazon, or an email address and immediately land in a fully configured Amazon SageMaker Studio environment; eligible new accounts also receive $100 in Free Tier credits (plus a chance to earn another $100). The new sign-in is available only for new AWS accounts and includes prior Studio improvements—~20s environment creation, preconfigured permissions, Hugging Face deep links, and default access to G5/G6/G4dn GPUs for eligible accounts.
