What did you find confusing? Please describe.
I am currently looking into use sagemaker for training and batch processing with custom models (catboost in particular in my case) and after looking through the sagemaker-python-sdk docs on byo docker https://sagemaker.readthedocs.io/en/stable/overview.html#byo-docker-containers-with-sagemaker-estimators and then coming across this example https://github.com/aws-samples/sagemaker-byo-catboost-container-demo/blob/master/Catboost_container_for_SageMaker.ipynb which point me to this library.

Here is a sentence from README.md that points towards the potential relationship between sagemaker python sdk and training toolkit: "The SageMaker Training Toolkit can be easily added to any Docker container, making it compatible with SageMaker for training models. If you use a prebuilt SageMaker Docker image for training, this library may already be included." Would love to understand how sagemaker training toolkit is different

Describe how documentation can be improved
A clear description on the differences between sagemaker-training-toolkit and sagemaker-python-sdk would be amazing. For example what does it do under the hood for making byo docker container easier to wield? The estimator created via sagemaker-python-sdk can then be used for deployment, batchtransform etc is there any limitation with the docker image that does not allow those functionalities?
