Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio supports aggregated view of data lineage

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now provides an aggregated view of data lineage, displaying all jobs contributing to your dataset. The aggregated view gives you a complete picture of data transformations and dependencies across your entire lineage graph, helping you quickly identify all upstream sources and downstream consumers of your datasets. Previously, SageMaker Unified Studio showed the lineage graph as it existed at a specific point in time, which is useful for troubleshooting and investigating specific data processing events. The aggregated view now provides a complete picture of data transformations and dependencies across multiple levels of the lineage graph. You can use this view to understand the full scope of jobs impacting your datasets and to identify all upstream sources and downstream consumers. The aggregated view is available as the default lineage view in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio for IdC-based domains. You can switch to the previous view by toggling the “display in event timestamp order” option. You can also query the lineage graph using the new QueryGraph API, which provides lineage node graphs with metadata and augmented business context. Aggregated view of lineage is available in all existing Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio regions. For detailed information on how to get started with lineage using these new features, refer to the documentation and API.
