AWS Clean Rooms ML
AWS Clean Rooms ML lets companies train ML models on combined datasets without seeing each other's raw data. Run lookalike segmentation and audience modeling across partners while preserving privacy. Think of it like a locked room where two companies bring their data, train a model together, and leave with the model but never see each other's customer lists.

What Makes Clean Rooms ML Powerful
Clean Rooms ML Pricing & Free Tier
SageMaker: from ~$0.045/hour for ml.t3.medium instances. Bedrock: on-demand per-token pricing. Rekognition: $1 per 1,000 images (first 5,000 free).
Clean Rooms ML Best Practices
- 1Start with pre-trained models (Bedrock, Rekognition) before training custom models
- 2Use SageMaker Experiments to track training runs, hyperparameters, and metrics
- 3Enable Model Monitor to detect data drift in production endpoints
- 4Set up cost allocation tags on training jobs — GPUs are expensive if left running
- 5Clean up unused endpoints — they incur hourly charges even with zero traffic
