Glue Interactive Python Jupyter notebook sessions

Question

Hello.

I'm following the AWS docs here [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/interactive-sessions-chapter.html] for developing Glue ETL pyspark jobs on my laptop using remote Glue Spark services in AWS.  I get the errors below as soon as I follow the directions to start a session and attempt to actually use the session to do something.  Is Glue still a supported service?  I see that the documentation is quite old.  Error message below.

```
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise AttributeError(
AttributeError: 'Glue' object has no attribute 'create_session'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Here is my test code....
```
%iam_role arn:aws:iam::xxxxxx:role/service-role/AWSGlueServiceRole-dev
%session_id test-glue-session1
!jupyter --version
%list_sessions
%connections "dev-poc-glue-aurora-db"
sc = SparkContext()
```

and the output....
```

Hello,

AWS Glue interactive session is currently in preview,  the documentation is reflecting the steps that will need to be run once it is general available.

At the moment, you need still to run a manual step before you start the notebook the first time:
* add the service model included with the install to botocore.

With your venv active run:

```
SITE_PACKAGES=$(pip3 show aws-glue-sessions | grep Location | awk '{print $2}')
cp $SITE_PACKAGES/aws_glue_interactive_sessions_kernel/service-2.json $SITE_PACKAGES/botocore/data/glue/2017-03-31/service-2.json
```
hope this helps

Interactive Glue Sessions are now generally available. I made a step-by-step video  tutorial on how to configure it to develop locally in pycharm for anyone who wants to follow along.  https://youtu.be/04LMQxDxjGM

Hello, I have a similar issue. I follow the guidelines to install jupyter notebook (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/interactive-sessions.html) in a WSL Ubuntu 22.04 and when I try create a session I got the message: *Session failed to reach READY instead reaching terminal state FAILED.
Current session is in an unhealthy terminal state. If you wish to create a new session use %stop_session before executing any further statements.*

```
pip -V
pip 23.3.2 from /home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)

pip list
aws-glue-sessions         1.0.4
aws-requests-auth         0.4.3
boto3                     1.34.21
botocore                  1.34.21
jupyter                   1.0.0
jupyter_client            8.6.0
jupyter-console           6.6.3
jupyter_core              5.7.1
jupyter-events            0.9.0
jupyter-lsp               2.2.2
jupyter_server            2.12.5
jupyter_server_terminals  0.5.1
jupyterlab                4.0.10
jupyterlab_pygments       0.3.0
jupyterlab_server         2.25.2
jupyterlab-widgets        3.0.9

```

I tried installing directly on Ubuntu and on a virtualenv but I always get the same error.
