SageMaker Studio apps have direct internet egress

What this check finds

A SageMaker Studio domain has AppNetworkAccessType=PublicInternetOnly, the AWS default, so its apps send traffic to the internet directly, outside your VPC controls, while holding the execution role. This is outbound access: signing in to Studio still needs IAM or SSO.

Passing looks like: SageMaker Studio apps send traffic through your VPC.

How to fix it

Use VpcOnly: aws sagemaker update-domain --domain-id ID --app-network-access-type VpcOnly, with subnets and VPC endpoints for the services the apps use. Delete running apps first.

Checked on every scan

KloudLytics runs this check each time it scans a connected AWS account, through a read-only role, and lists every affected resource with its region. On Pro and Business a fix is written for the specific resource rather than the general case above. The exact access it needs
