Scheduling Tasks on Amazon SageMaker

I'm wondering how people schedule tasks on sagemaker. I've seen some people use cron, but is there a better way? What are the pros and cons of different methods?

There are a few things you'll need to do in order to successfully schedule tasks on Amazon SageMaker:

Create a Cron job that will trigger the execution of your Python script at the desired interval

There are two ways to schedule tasks on Amazon SageMaker:

Using the Amazon SageMaker Console

In the Create task pane, you will need to specify the following information:

The IAM role that will be used to run the task. This role must have permissions to access the Amazon SageMaker resources that will be used by the task.

The name of the task.
The schedule for the task. This can be either a cron expression or a rate expression.
The S3 bucket where the input data for the task will be located.
The S3 bucket where the output data from the task will be located.

Using the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)
