<a name="training-plan-creation-using-console"></a>

SageMaker training plans offer a convenient way to create training plans through the SageMaker AI console UI, allowing users to easily schedule their machine learning training resources. This guide walks you through the process of creating a training plan for SageMaker training jobs and SageMaker HyperPod clusters using the SageMaker AI console. By following these steps, you will search for training plan offerings, review available options, and purchase the plan that best fits your needs.

To create a training plan visually using a UI:

1. Start by navigating to the SageMaker AI console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/).

1. Choose **Training Plans** in the left pane menu.

1. From there, choose the **Create training plan** button in the main content area to start the process of setting up your customized training schedule.

The left navigation pane highlights the "Training Plans" option, and a "Create training plan" button is visible in the main content area.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/images/training-plans/tp-console.png)


Next, search for plan offerings that match your compute requirements.

# Search training plan offerings
<a name="search-training-plan-offerings"></a>

After you choose **Training Plans** in the left pane of the SageMaker AI console, and then **Create training plan**, a **Find training plan** form opens up. This form allows you to specify your requirements and search for suitable training plan offerings.

Follow these steps to complete the form:

1. Identify your **Target**: Training plans are specific to their target resource. Specify whether you want to use a plan to run SageMaker training jobs or SageMaker HyperPod clusters.

1. For **Compute type**, you can choose between **Instance** or **UltraServer**. UltraServers are connect multiple Amazon EC2 instances using a low-latency, high-bandwidth accelerator interconnect. For more information, see [Amazon EC2 UltraServers](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ultraservers/). To learn about how you can use UltraServers with SageMaker AI, see [UltraServers in SageMaker AI](reserve-capacity-with-training-plans.md#training-plans-ultraservers).

1. Choose your preferred **Instance type** and **Instance count**: For available instance types in a given AWS Region, duration, and quantity options, see [Supported instance types, AWS Regions, and pricing](reserve-capacity-with-training-plans.md#training-plans-supported-instances-and-regions).

1. Define your time parameters: Choose your desired start and end dates, and specify the plan duration within this window.

1. Choose **Find training plans**.

![\[SageMaker AI console showing the Search training plan offerings page. The interface displays options to select the target resource for the plan (Training job or HyperPod cluster), specify instance type and count, set start and end dates, and input duration. A Find training plans button is visible at the bottom of the form.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/images/training-plans/tp-search-training-plan-offerings.png)


SageMaker training plans search for offerings that match your capacity requirements. When matches are found within your specified time frame, they appear at the bottom of the page. Each training plan offering includes the following details:
+ Total plan duration
+ Start and end dates
+ Total upfront price: 

  Hover over the price to view the detailed breakdown of instance hourly rate, instance count, and total hours
+ Total number of plan segments

Clicking the segment detail link opens a modal view with segment-specific details:
+ Duration
+ Start and end dates
+ Availability zone

If no suitable plans are found or the available plans don't meet your needs, adjust your search criteria by modifying the parameters in the **Training plans requirements** form. Once you find a suitable offering, select it and choose **Next** to continue to the plan reservation page. On this page, you can name your plan, and then review and confirm your selection before finalizing your reservation.
