# Getting Started
<a name="nova-sagemaker-inference-getting-started"></a>

This guide shows you how to deploy customized Amazon Nova models on SageMaker real-time endpoints, configure inference parameters, and invoke your models for testing.

## Prerequisites
<a name="nova-sagemaker-inference-prerequisites"></a>

The following are prerequisites to deploy Amazon Nova models on SageMaker inference:
+ Create an AWS account - If you don't have one already, see [Creating an AWS account](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//sagemaker/latest/dg/gs-set-up.html#sign-up-for-aws).
+ Required IAM permissions - Ensure your IAM user or role has the following managed policies attached:
  + `AmazonSageMakerFullAccess`
  + `AmazonS3FullAccess`
+ Required SDKs/CLI versions - The following SDK versions have been tested and validated with Amazon Nova models on SageMaker inference:
  + SageMaker Python SDK v3.0.0\$1 (`sagemaker>=3.0.0`) for resource-based API approach
  + Boto3 version 1.35.0\$1 (`boto3>=1.35.0`) for direct API calls. The examples in this guide use this approach.
+ Service quota increase - Request an Amazon SageMaker service quota increase for the ML instance type you plan to use for your SageMaker Inference endpoint (for example, `ml.p5.48xlarge for endpoint usage`). For a list of supported instance types, see [Supported models and instances](nova-model-sagemaker-inference.md#nova-sagemaker-inference-supported). To request an increase, see [Requesting a quota increase](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//servicequotas/latest/userguide/request-quota-increase.html). For information about SageMaker instance quotas, see [SageMaker endpoints and quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//general/latest/gr/sagemaker.html).

## Step 1: Configure AWS credentials
<a name="nova-sagemaker-inference-step1"></a>

Configure your AWS credentials using one of the following methods:

**Option 1: AWS CLI (Recommended)**

```
aws configure
```

Enter your AWS access key, secret key, and default region when prompted.

**Option 2: AWS credentials file**

Create or edit `~/.aws/credentials`:

```
[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
```

**Option 3: Environment variables**

```
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_key
```

**Note**  
For more information about AWS credentials, see [Configuration and credential file settings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-files.html).

**Initialize AWS clients**

Create a Python script or notebook with the following code to initialize the AWS SDK and verify your credentials:

```
import boto3

# AWS Configuration - Update these for your environment
REGION = "us-east-1"  # Supported regions: us-east-1, us-west-2
AWS_ACCOUNT_ID = "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID"  # Replace with your AWS account ID

# Initialize AWS clients using default credential chain
sagemaker = boto3.client('sagemaker', region_name=REGION)
sts = boto3.client('sts')

# Verify credentials
try:
    identity = sts.get_caller_identity()
    print(f"Successfully authenticated to AWS Account: {identity['Account']}")
    
    if identity['Account'] != AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:
        print(f"Warning: Connected to account {identity['Account']}, expected {AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}")

except Exception as e:
    print(f"Failed to authenticate: {e}")
    print("Please verify your credentials are configured correctly.")
```

If the authentication is successful, you should see output confirming your AWS account ID.

## Step 2: Create a SageMaker execution role
<a name="nova-sagemaker-inference-step2"></a>

A SageMaker execution role is an IAM role that grants SageMaker permissions to access AWS resources on your behalf, such as Amazon S3 buckets for model artifacts and CloudWatch for logging.

**Creating the execution role**

**Note**  
Creating IAM roles requires `iam:CreateRole` and `iam:AttachRolePolicy` permissions. Ensure your IAM user or role has these permissions before proceeding.

The following code creates an IAM role with the necessary permissions for deploying Amazon Nova customized models:

```
import json

# Create SageMaker Execution Role
role_name = f"SageMakerInference-ExecutionRole-{AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}"

trust_policy = {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",		 	 	 
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {"Service": "sagemaker.amazonaws.com"},
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
        }
    ]
}

iam = boto3.client('iam', region_name=REGION)

# Create the role
role_response = iam.create_role(
    RoleName=role_name,
    AssumeRolePolicyDocument=json.dumps(trust_policy),
    Description='SageMaker execution role with S3 and SageMaker access'
)

# Attach required policies
iam.attach_role_policy(
    RoleName=role_name,
    PolicyArn='arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonSageMakerFullAccess'
)

iam.attach_role_policy(
    RoleName=role_name,
    PolicyArn='arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonS3FullAccess'
)

SAGEMAKER_EXECUTION_ROLE_ARN = role_response['Role']['Arn']
print(f"Created SageMaker execution role: {SAGEMAKER_EXECUTION_ROLE_ARN}")
```

**Using an existing execution role (Optional)**

If you already have a SageMaker execution role, you can use it instead:

```
# Replace with your existing role ARN
SAGEMAKER_EXECUTION_ROLE_ARN = "arn:aws:iam::YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID:role/YOUR_EXISTING_ROLE_NAME"
```

To find existing SageMaker roles in your account:

```
iam = boto3.client('iam', region_name=REGION)
response = iam.list_roles()
sagemaker_roles = [role for role in response['Roles'] if 'SageMaker' in role['RoleName']]
for role in sagemaker_roles:
    print(f"{role['RoleName']}: {role['Arn']}")
```

**Important**  
The execution role must have trust relationship with `sagemaker.amazonaws.com` and permissions to access Amazon S3 and SageMaker resources.

For more information about SageMaker execution roles, see [SageMaker Roles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//sagemaker/latest/dg/sagemaker-roles.html).

## Step 3: Configure model parameters
<a name="nova-sagemaker-inference-step3"></a>

Configure the deployment parameters for your Amazon Nova model. These settings control model behavior, resource allocation, and inference characteristics. For a list of supported instance types and supported CONTEXT\$1LENGTH and MAX\$1CONCURRENCY values for each, see [Supported models and instances](nova-model-sagemaker-inference.md#nova-sagemaker-inference-supported).

**Required parameters**
+ `IMAGE`: The Docker container image URI for Amazon Nova inference container. This will be provided by AWS.
+ `CONTEXT_LENGTH`: Model context length.
+ `MAX_CONCURRENCY`: Maximum number of sequences per iteration; sets the limit on how many individual user requests (prompts) can be processed concurrently within a single batch on the GPU. Range: integer greater than 0.

**Optional generation parameters**
+ `DEFAULT_TEMPERATURE`: Controls randomness in generation. Range: 0.0 to 2.0 (0.0 = deterministic, higher = more random).
+ `DEFAULT_TOP_P`: Nucleus sampling threshold for token selection. Range: 1e-10 to 1.0.
+ `DEFAULT_TOP_K`: Limits token selection to top K most likely tokens. Range: integer -1 or greater (-1 = no limit).
+ `DEFAULT_MAX_NEW_TOKENS`: Maximum number of tokens to generate in response (i.e. max output tokens). Range: integer 1 or greater.
+ `DEFAULT_LOGPROBS`: Number of log probabilities to return per token. Range: integer 1 to 20.

**Configure your deployment**

```
# AWS Configuration
REGION = "us-east-1"  # Must match region from Step 1

# ECR Account mapping by region
ECR_ACCOUNT_MAP = {
    "us-east-1": "708977205387",
    "us-west-2": "176779409107"
}

# Container Image
IMAGE = f"{ECR_ACCOUNT_MAP[REGION]}.dkr.ecr.{REGION}.amazonaws.com/nova-inference-repo:SM-Inference-latest"
print(f"IMAGE = {IMAGE}")

# Model Parameters
CONTEXT_LENGTH = "16000"       # Maximum total context length
MAX_CONCURRENCY = "2"          # Maximum concurrent sequences

# Optional: Default generation parameters (uncomment to use)
DEFAULT_TEMPERATURE = "0.0"   # Deterministic output
DEFAULT_TOP_P = "1.0"         # Consider all tokens
# DEFAULT_TOP_K = "50"        # Uncomment to limit to top 50 tokens
# DEFAULT_MAX_NEW_TOKENS = "2048"  # Uncomment to set max output tokens
# DEFAULT_LOGPROBS = "1"      # Uncomment to enable log probabilities

# Build environment variables for the container
environment = {
    'CONTEXT_LENGTH': CONTEXT_LENGTH,
    'MAX_CONCURRENCY': MAX_CONCURRENCY,
}

# Add optional parameters if defined
if 'DEFAULT_TEMPERATURE' in globals():
    environment['DEFAULT_TEMPERATURE'] = DEFAULT_TEMPERATURE
if 'DEFAULT_TOP_P' in globals():
    environment['DEFAULT_TOP_P'] = DEFAULT_TOP_P
if 'DEFAULT_TOP_K' in globals():
    environment['DEFAULT_TOP_K'] = DEFAULT_TOP_K
if 'DEFAULT_MAX_NEW_TOKENS' in globals():
    environment['DEFAULT_MAX_NEW_TOKENS'] = DEFAULT_MAX_NEW_TOKENS
if 'DEFAULT_LOGPROBS' in globals():
    environment['DEFAULT_LOGPROBS'] = DEFAULT_LOGPROBS

print("Environment configuration:")
for key, value in environment.items():
    print(f"  {key}: {value}")
```

**Configure deployment-specific parameters**

Now configure the specific parameters for your Amazon Nova model deployment, including model artifacts location and instance type selection.

**Set deployment identifier**

```
# Deployment identifier - use a descriptive name for your use case
JOB_NAME = "my-nova-deployment"
```

**Specify model artifacts location**

Provide the Amazon S3 URI where your trained Amazon Nova model artifacts are stored. This should be the output location from your model training or fine-tuning job.

```
# S3 location of your trained Nova model artifacts
# Replace with your model's S3 URI - must end with /
MODEL_S3_LOCATION = "s3://your-bucket-name/path/to/model/artifacts/"
```

**Select model variant and instance type**

```
# Configure model variant and instance type
TESTCASE = {
    "model": "lite2",              # Options: micro, lite, lite2
    "instance": "ml.p5.48xlarge"   # Refer to "Supported models and instances" section
}

# Generate resource names
INSTANCE_TYPE = TESTCASE["instance"]
MODEL_NAME = JOB_NAME + "-" + TESTCASE["model"] + "-" + INSTANCE_TYPE.replace(".", "-")
ENDPOINT_CONFIG_NAME = MODEL_NAME + "-Config"
ENDPOINT_NAME = MODEL_NAME + "-Endpoint"

print(f"Model Name: {MODEL_NAME}")
print(f"Endpoint Config: {ENDPOINT_CONFIG_NAME}")
print(f"Endpoint Name: {ENDPOINT_NAME}")
```

**Naming conventions**

The code automatically generates consistent names for AWS resources:
+ Model Name: `{JOB_NAME}-{model}-{instance-type}`
+ Endpoint Config: `{MODEL_NAME}-Config`
+ Endpoint Name: `{MODEL_NAME}-Endpoint`

## Step 4: Create SageMaker model and endpoint configuration
<a name="nova-sagemaker-inference-step4"></a>

In this step, you'll create two essential resources: a SageMaker model object that references your Amazon Nova model artifacts, and an endpoint configuration that defines how the model will be deployed.

**SageMaker Model**: A model object that packages the inference container image, model artifacts location, and environment configuration. This is a reusable resource that can be deployed to multiple endpoints.

**Endpoint Configuration**: Defines the infrastructure settings for deployment, including instance type, instance count, and model variants. This allows you to manage deployment settings separately from the model itself.

**Create the SageMaker model**

The following code creates a SageMaker model that references your Amazon Nova model artifacts:

```
try:
    model_response = sagemaker.create_model(
        ModelName=MODEL_NAME,
        PrimaryContainer={
            'Image': IMAGE,
            'ModelDataSource': {
                'S3DataSource': {
                    'S3Uri': MODEL_S3_LOCATION,
                    'S3DataType': 'S3Prefix',
                    'CompressionType': 'None'
                }
            },
            'Environment': environment
        },
        ExecutionRoleArn=SAGEMAKER_EXECUTION_ROLE_ARN,
        EnableNetworkIsolation=True
    )
    print("Model created successfully!")
    print(f"Model ARN: {model_response['ModelArn']}")
    
except sagemaker.exceptions.ClientError as e:
    print(f"Error creating model: {e}")
```

Key parameters:
+ `ModelName`: Unique identifier for your model
+ `Image`: Docker container image URI for Amazon Nova inference
+ `ModelDataSource`: Amazon S3 location of your model artifacts
+ `Environment`: Environment variables configured in Step 3
+ `ExecutionRoleArn`: IAM role from Step 2
+ `EnableNetworkIsolation`: Set to True for enhanced security (prevents container from making outbound network calls)

**Create the endpoint configuration**

Next, create an endpoint configuration that defines your deployment infrastructure:

```
# Create Endpoint Configuration
try:
    production_variant = {
        'VariantName': 'primary',
        'ModelName': MODEL_NAME,
        'InitialInstanceCount': 1,
        'InstanceType': INSTANCE_TYPE,
    }
    
    config_response = sagemaker.create_endpoint_config(
        EndpointConfigName=ENDPOINT_CONFIG_NAME,
        ProductionVariants=[production_variant]
    )
    print("Endpoint configuration created successfully!")
    print(f"Config ARN: {config_response['EndpointConfigArn']}")
    
except sagemaker.exceptions.ClientError as e:
    print(f"Error creating endpoint configuration: {e}")
```

Key parameters:
+ `VariantName`: Identifier for this model variant (use 'primary' for single-model deployments)
+ `ModelName`: References the model created above
+ `InitialInstanceCount`: Number of instances to deploy (start with 1, scale later if needed)
+ `InstanceType`: ML instance type selected in Step 3

**Verify resource creation**

You can verify that your resources were created successfully:

```
# Describe the model
model_info = sagemaker.describe_model(ModelName=MODEL_NAME)
print(f"Model Status: {model_info['ModelName']} created")

# Describe the endpoint configuration
config_info = sagemaker.describe_endpoint_config(EndpointConfigName=ENDPOINT_CONFIG_NAME)
print(f"Endpoint Config Status: {config_info['EndpointConfigName']} created")
```

## Step 5: Deploy the endpoint
<a name="nova-sagemaker-inference-step5"></a>

The next step is to deploy your Amazon Nova model by creating a SageMaker real-time endpoint. This endpoint will host your model and provide a secure HTTPS endpoint for making inference requests.

Endpoint creation typically takes 15-30 minutes as AWS provisions the infrastructure, downloads your model artifacts, and initializes the inference container.

**Create the endpoint**

```
import time

try:
    endpoint_response = sagemaker.create_endpoint(
        EndpointName=ENDPOINT_NAME,
        EndpointConfigName=ENDPOINT_CONFIG_NAME
    )
    print("Endpoint creation initiated successfully!")
    print(f"Endpoint ARN: {endpoint_response['EndpointArn']}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error creating endpoint: {e}")
```

**Monitor endpoint creation**

The following code polls the endpoint status until deployment is complete:

```
# Monitor endpoint creation progress
print("Waiting for endpoint creation to complete...")
print("This typically takes 15-30 minutes...\n")

while True:
    try:
        response = sagemaker.describe_endpoint(EndpointName=ENDPOINT_NAME)
        status = response['EndpointStatus']
        
        if status == 'Creating':
            print(f"⏳ Status: {status} - Provisioning infrastructure and loading model...")
        elif status == 'InService':
            print(f"✅ Status: {status}")
            print("\nEndpoint creation completed successfully!")
            print(f"Endpoint Name: {ENDPOINT_NAME}")
            print(f"Endpoint ARN: {response['EndpointArn']}")
            break
        elif status == 'Failed':
            print(f"❌ Status: {status}")
            print(f"Failure Reason: {response.get('FailureReason', 'Unknown')}")
            print("\nFull response:")
            print(response)
            break
        else:
            print(f"Status: {status}")
        
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error checking endpoint status: {e}")
        break
    
    time.sleep(30)  # Check every 30 seconds
```

**Verify endpoint is ready**

Once the endpoint is InService, you can verify its configuration:

```
# Get detailed endpoint information
endpoint_info = sagemaker.describe_endpoint(EndpointName=ENDPOINT_NAME)

print("\n=== Endpoint Details ===")
print(f"Endpoint Name: {endpoint_info['EndpointName']}")
print(f"Endpoint ARN: {endpoint_info['EndpointArn']}")
print(f"Status: {endpoint_info['EndpointStatus']}")
print(f"Creation Time: {endpoint_info['CreationTime']}")
print(f"Last Modified: {endpoint_info['LastModifiedTime']}")

# Get endpoint config for instance type details
endpoint_config_name = endpoint_info['EndpointConfigName']
endpoint_config = sagemaker.describe_endpoint_config(EndpointConfigName=endpoint_config_name)

# Display production variant details
for variant in endpoint_info['ProductionVariants']:
    print(f"\nProduction Variant: {variant['VariantName']}")
    print(f"  Current Instance Count: {variant['CurrentInstanceCount']}")
    print(f"  Desired Instance Count: {variant['DesiredInstanceCount']}")
    # Get instance type from endpoint config
    for config_variant in endpoint_config['ProductionVariants']:
        if config_variant['VariantName'] == variant['VariantName']:
            print(f"  Instance Type: {config_variant['InstanceType']}")
            break
```

**Troubleshooting endpoint creation failures**

Common failure reasons:
+ **Insufficient capacity**: The requested instance type is not available in your region
  + Solution: Try a different instance type or request a quota increase
+ **IAM permissions**: The execution role lacks necessary permissions
  + Solution: Verify the role has access to Amazon S3 model artifacts and necessary SageMaker permissions
+ **Model artifacts not found**: The Amazon S3 URI is incorrect or inaccessible
  + Solution: Verify the Amazon S3 URI and check bucket permissions, make sure you're in the correct region
+ **Resource limits**: Account limits exceeded for endpoints or instances
  + Solution: Request a service quota increase through Service Quotas or AWS Support

**Note**  
If you need to delete a failed endpoint and start over:  

```
sagemaker.delete_endpoint(EndpointName=ENDPOINT_NAME)
```

## Step 6: Invoke the endpoint
<a name="nova-sagemaker-inference-step6"></a>

Once your endpoint is InService, you can send inference requests to generate predictions from your Amazon Nova model. SageMaker supports synchronous endpoints (real-time with streaming/non-streaming modes) and asynchronous endpoints (Amazon S3-based for batch processing).

**Set up the runtime client**

Create a SageMaker Runtime client with appropriate timeout settings:

```
import json
import boto3
import botocore
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError

# Configure client with appropriate timeouts
config = botocore.config.Config(
    read_timeout=120,      # Maximum time to wait for response
    connect_timeout=10,    # Maximum time to establish connection
    retries={'max_attempts': 3}  # Number of retry attempts
)

# Create SageMaker Runtime client
runtime_client = boto3.client('sagemaker-runtime', config=config, region_name=REGION)
```

**Create a universal inference function**

The following function handles both streaming and non-streaming requests:

```
def invoke_nova_endpoint(request_body):
    """
    Invoke Nova endpoint with automatic streaming detection.
    
    Args:
        request_body (dict): Request payload containing prompt and parameters
    
    Returns:
        dict: Response from the model (for non-streaming requests)
        None: For streaming requests (prints output directly)
    """
    body = json.dumps(request_body)
    is_streaming = request_body.get("stream", False)
    
    try:
        print(f"Invoking endpoint ({'streaming' if is_streaming else 'non-streaming'})...")
        
        if is_streaming:
            response = runtime_client.invoke_endpoint_with_response_stream(
                EndpointName=ENDPOINT_NAME,
                ContentType='application/json',
                Body=body
            )
            
            event_stream = response['Body']
            for event in event_stream:
                if 'PayloadPart' in event:
                    chunk = event['PayloadPart']
                    if 'Bytes' in chunk:
                        data = chunk['Bytes'].decode()
                        print("Chunk:", data)
        else:
            # Non-streaming inference
            response = runtime_client.invoke_endpoint(
                EndpointName=ENDPOINT_NAME,
                ContentType='application/json',
                Accept='application/json',
                Body=body
            )
            
            response_body = response['Body'].read().decode('utf-8')
            result = json.loads(response_body)
            print("✅ Response received successfully")
            return result
    
    except ClientError as e:
        error_code = e.response['Error']['Code']
        error_message = e.response['Error']['Message']
        print(f"❌ AWS Error: {error_code} - {error_message}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"❌ Unexpected error: {str(e)}")
```

**Example 1: Non-streaming chat completion**

Use the chat format for conversational interactions:

```
# Non-streaming chat request
chat_request = {
    "messages": [
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello! How are you?"}
    ],
    "max_tokens": 100,
    "max_completion_tokens": 100,  # Alternative to max_tokens
    "stream": False,
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "top_p": 0.9,
    "top_k": 50,
    "logprobs": True,
    "top_logprobs": 3,
    "reasoning_effort": "low",  # Options: "low", "high"
    "allowed_token_ids": None,  # List of allowed token IDs
    "truncate_prompt_tokens": None,  # Truncate prompt to this many tokens
    "stream_options": None
}

response = invoke_nova_endpoint(chat_request)
```

**Sample response:**

```
{
    "id": "chatcmpl-123456",
    "object": "chat.completion",
    "created": 1234567890,
    "model": "default",
    "choices": [
        {
            "index": 0,
            "message": {
                "role": "assistant",
                "content": "Hello! I'm doing well, thank you for asking. I'm here and ready to help you with any questions or tasks you might have. How can I assist you today?"
            },
            "logprobs": {
                "content": [
                    {
                        "token": "Hello",
                        "logprob": -0.123,
                        "top_logprobs": [
                            {"token": "Hello", "logprob": -0.123},
                            {"token": "Hi", "logprob": -2.456},
                            {"token": "Hey", "logprob": -3.789}
                        ]
                    }
                    # Additional tokens...
                ]
            },
            "finish_reason": "stop"
        }
    ],
    "usage": {
        "prompt_tokens": 12,
        "completion_tokens": 28,
        "total_tokens": 40
    }
}
```

**Example 2: Simple text completion**

Use the completion format for simple text generation:

```
# Simple completion request
completion_request = {
    "prompt": "The capital of France is",
    "max_tokens": 50,
    "stream": False,
    "temperature": 0.0,
    "top_p": 1.0,
    "top_k": -1,  # -1 means no limit
    "logprobs": 3,  # Number of log probabilities to return

**Example 4: Multimodal chat completion**

Use multimodal format for image and text inputs:

```
# Multimodal chat request (if supported by your model)
multimodal_request = {
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "What's in this image?"},
                {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "data:image/jpeg;base64,..."}}
            ]
        }
    ],
    "max_tokens": 150,
    "temperature": 0.3,
    "top_p": 0.8,
    "stream": False
}

response = invoke_nova_endpoint(multimodal_request)
```

**Sample response:**

```
{
    "id": "chatcmpl-345678",
    "object": "chat.completion",
    "created": 1234567890,

                "content": "The image shows..."
            },

## Step 7: Clean up resources (Optional)
<a name="nova-sagemaker-inference-step7"></a>

To avoid incurring unnecessary charges, delete the AWS resources you created during this tutorial. SageMaker endpoints incur charges while they're running, even if you're not actively making inference requests.

**Important**  
Deleting resources is permanent and cannot be undone. Ensure you no longer need these resources before proceeding.

**Delete the endpoint**

```
import boto3

# Initialize SageMaker client
sagemaker = boto3.client('sagemaker', region_name=REGION)

try:
    print("Deleting endpoint...")
    sagemaker.delete_endpoint(EndpointName=ENDPOINT_NAME)
    print(f"✅ Endpoint '{ENDPOINT_NAME}' deletion initiated")
    print("Charges will stop once deletion completes (typically 2-5 minutes)")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"❌ Error deleting endpoint: {e}")
```

**Note**  
The endpoint deletion is asynchronous. You can monitor the deletion status:  

```
import time

print("Monitoring endpoint deletion...")
while True:
    try:
        response = sagemaker.describe_endpoint(EndpointName=ENDPOINT_NAME)
        status = response['EndpointStatus']
        print(f"Status: {status}")
        time.sleep(10)
    except sagemaker.exceptions.ClientError as e:
        if e.response['Error']['Code'] == 'ValidationException':
            print("✅ Endpoint successfully deleted")
            break
        else:
            print(f"Error: {e}")
            break
```

**Delete the endpoint configuration**

After the endpoint is deleted, remove the endpoint configuration:

```
try:
    print("Deleting endpoint configuration...")
    sagemaker.delete_endpoint_config(EndpointConfigName=ENDPOINT_CONFIG_NAME)
    print(f"✅ Endpoint configuration '{ENDPOINT_CONFIG_NAME}' deleted")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"❌ Error deleting endpoint configuration: {e}")
```

**Delete the model**

Remove the SageMaker model object:

```
try:
    print("Deleting model...")
    sagemaker.delete_model(ModelName=MODEL_NAME)
    print(f"✅ Model '{MODEL_NAME}' deleted")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"❌ Error deleting model: {e}")
```
