Pull request overview

This PR enhances security by replacing shell command execution (os.system()) with direct subprocess calls in the SageMaker container build and deployment process. This eliminates potential shell injection attack vectors.

Key Changes:

  • Replaced shell command concatenation and os.system() with individual subprocess.run() calls in push_image_to_ecr()
  • Changed from importing Popen directly to using subprocess.Popen for consistency
  • Removed platform-specific command separator logic (no longer needed with subprocess)

do we need to capture_output? The original code doesn't.

The only one we need it for is the first one :) The others are not really super critical and it's best that both stdout and stderr just stream naturally. I'll remove those other ones!

For consistency with other subprocess usage in the codebase, consider adding text=True to subprocess.run calls when dealing with text output. While the current implementation works (passing bytes from aws_result.stdout to docker login stdin), using text=True would make the code more readable and consistent with patterns in mlflow/utils/environment.py and mlflow/utils/env_pack.py.

Additionally, the second subprocess.run call (line 154) should capture output with capture_output=True to enable better error diagnostics if the docker login command fails.
