Announcing SOCI-indexed images for faster SageMaker AI jobs.

AI brief

AWS introduced Seekable OCI (SOCI) indexing for Amazon SageMaker AI training and processing jobs, which lazy-loads container images so containers start in seconds rather than minutes, without changes to job definitions.

Why it matters: It removes full container image downloads from the critical path, which AWS says speeds up job startup.
