SageMaker Endpoint Non-Production Scheduling Opportunity
A real-time endpoint bills for its instances continuously from the moment it is InService, whether or not anything invokes it.
Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.
AWS
Found, explained, handed over.
Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.
Detect
ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, with read-only access to the account.
Explain
Every finding says exactly what to change: Schedule the non-production SageMaker endpoint off-hours. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.
Fix
The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.
- Applies to
- SageMaker Endpoints on AWS
- The fix, by hand
- Recommended off-hours window (start/stop cron, timezone) from the heatmap.
- SageMaker endpoints have no native stop. Pause by DeleteEndpoint off-hours and recreate from the saved EndpointConfigName before working hours.
- Automate the delete/recreate with an EventBridge schedule + Lambda (or CI/CD), preserving the EndpointConfigName.
- For bursty or intermittent traffic, migrating to a serverless endpoint avoids the teardown entirely.
These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
