Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Use the Converse API with system prompts and tool configuration. The Converse API is designed for multi-turn conversations and natively supports system prompts to set agent behavior and tool configuration for invoking external APIs. Option C correctly combines these features to maintain context across turns and enable real-time data retrieval via tool calls, which is exactly what the scenario requires.

Answer

Use the Converse API with streaming enabled and set max tokens to 4096

Answer

Use the InvokeModel API with a conversational prompt template and tool use configuration

Answer

Use the InvokeModel API with a system prompt and store conversation history client-side

Question 2

Which of the following is a key advantage of using a diffusion model for image generation compared to a GAN?

Accepted Answer

Diffusion models produce more diverse and higher-quality images with stable training. Diffusion models offer a key advantage over GANs because they are trained with a stable, non-adversarial objective—denoising score matching—which avoids the mode collapse and training instability common in GANs. This leads to more diverse outputs and, with sufficient steps, higher-quality images that can rival or exceed GANs, especially in large-scale text-to-image tasks.

Answer

Diffusion models generate images faster than GANs during inference

Answer

Diffusion models are inherently conditional and do not require labels

Answer

Diffusion models require less training data than GANs

Question 3

What is the main purpose of a system prompt in a large language model?

Accepted Answer

To define the high-level instructions that set the model's behavior and persona. The system prompt in a large language model (LLM) defines the high-level instructions that set the model's behavior, persona, and constraints for the entire conversation. Unlike user prompts, which are task-specific, the system prompt establishes the model's role (e.g., 'You are a helpful assistant') and governs how it interprets all subsequent interactions, ensuring consistent and aligned outputs.

Answer

To increase the temperature for more creative responses

Answer

To provide an example of the desired output format

Answer

To list all possible tokens to be used in the response

Question 4

A data scientist is using Amazon Bedrock to generate product descriptions. They notice the output is often repetitive and lacks creativity. Which combination of parameter adjustments is MOST likely to produce more diverse and less repetitive output?

Accepted Answer

Increase temperature and increase top-p. Increasing temperature raises the probability of sampling lower-probability tokens, which increases randomness and diversity. Increasing top-p (nucleus sampling) expands the set of tokens considered for sampling, further reducing repetitiveness. Together, these adjustments encourage the model to explore a wider range of possible continuations, producing more creative and less repetitive output.

Answer

Decrease temperature and decrease top-p

Answer

Decrease temperature and increase top-p

Answer

Increase temperature and decrease top-p

Question 5

A developer needs to ensure that a generative AI application on Amazon Bedrock does not produce harmful or inappropriate content. Which feature should they configure?

Accepted Answer

Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock. Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock is the correct feature because it allows developers to define policies that filter and block harmful or inappropriate content in both user inputs and model outputs. This includes configurable thresholds for topics, content filters (e.g., hate, insults, sexual, violence), and denied topics, ensuring the generative AI application adheres to safety and responsible AI requirements.

Answer

Question 6

Refer to the exhibit. A developer receives an error when trying to invoke the Claude Instant model from an application. The application uses the IAM role 'MyAppRole'. Which IAM policy statement should be added to the role to resolve the error?

Accepted Answer

{"Effect":"Allow","Action":"bedrock:InvokeModel","Resource":"arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1::foundation-model/anthropic.claude-instant-v1"}. The error occurs when the application tries to invoke the Claude Instant model via the Bedrock InvokeModel API, and the IAM role 'MyAppRole' lacks the necessary permission. The required action is 'bedrock:InvokeModel', and the resource must be scoped to the specific foundation model ARN, which for Claude Instant in us-east-1 is 'arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1::foundation-model/anthropic.claude-instant-v1'. This grants least-privilege access to invoke exactly that model.

Answer

{"Effect":"Allow","Action":"bedrock:GetFoundationModel","Resource":"*"}

Answer

{"Effect":"Allow","Action":"bedrock:InvokeModel","Resource":"arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1::foundation-model/*"}

Answer

{"Effect":"Allow","Action":"bedrock:*","Resource":"*"}

Question 7

Which TWO practices help ensure responsible AI when deploying generative AI applications? (Select TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Implement guardrails to filter harmful or inappropriate content. Option D is correct because implementing guardrails—such as content filters, prompt shields, and safety classifiers—directly mitigates the risk of generative AI producing harmful, offensive, or inappropriate content, which is a core requirement of responsible AI deployment. Option E is correct because continuously monitoring model outputs for bias and drift ensures that the system remains fair and accurate as data distributions and user behavior change over time, enabling timely remediation. Option A is incorrect because removing content filters increases the risk of harmful outputs and violates responsible AI principles rather than ensuring them. Option B is incorrect because increasing model size at the cost of interpretability reduces transparency and explainability, which are key responsible AI goals. Option C is incorrect because using only synthetic data does not by itself guarantee privacy or fairness and can introduce its own biases and quality issues.

Answer

Deploy the model without any content filters to maximize creativity

Answer

Increase model size to improve accuracy at the expense of interpretability

Answer

Use only synthetic data for training to avoid privacy issues

Question 8

A developer is building a chatbot using Amazon Bedrock and Claude. They notice that the model sometimes generates harmful or biased responses. Which AWS service can they use to implement guardrails?

Accepted Answer

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. Amazon Bedrock Guardrails is the correct choice because it is a native feature of Amazon Bedrock designed specifically to implement safety controls, content filters, and topic policies for foundation models like Claude. It allows developers to define denied topics, filter harmful content (e.g., hate speech, violence), and redact sensitive information, directly addressing the need to prevent harmful or biased responses in a chatbot built on Bedrock.

Question 9

A financial services company is deploying a generative AI application using Amazon Bedrock. They need to ensure that the model does not generate responses containing personally identifiable information (PII) such as credit card numbers or Social Security numbers. The company also wants to block certain topics like investment advice. Which feature should they configure?

Accepted Answer

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. Amazon Bedrock Guardrails is the correct feature because it provides configurable safeguards to filter and block undesirable content in foundation model responses, including PII (e.g., credit card numbers, Social Security numbers) and specific topics like investment advice. It operates at the application layer within Bedrock, allowing you to define denied topics and sensitive information filters that are enforced during inference, without requiring separate infrastructure or manual post-processing.

Question 11

A company is using Amazon SageMaker to manage the lifecycle of their machine learning models. They need to implement a governance framework that includes model versioning, monitoring for drift, and decommissioning of outdated models. Which THREE AWS services or features should they use together to meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)

Accepted Answer

SageMaker Pipelines. SageMaker Model Registry (C) is the correct service for model versioning and governance, as it maintains a catalog of model versions with metadata, approval statuses, and lineage, enabling tracking and controlled promotion of models through their lifecycle. SageMaker Model Monitor (E) is correct because it continuously monitors deployed endpoints for data drift, model quality drift, bias drift, and feature attribution drift, alerting when the model deviates from baseline behavior. SageMaker Pipelines (B) is correct because it provides CI/CD orchestration to automate the ML workflow, including training, evaluation, registration to the Model Registry, and deployment, which supports governance and decommissioning through repeatable, versioned pipeline executions. AWS CloudTrail (A) only records API activity for auditing and does not provide model versioning, drift monitoring, or lifecycle decommissioning, so it does not meet the requirements. SageMaker Role Manager (D) merely helps create and manage IAM roles and permissions for SageMaker personas; it does not provide versioning, drift detection, or model decommissioning capabilities.

Answer

AWS CloudTrail

Answer

SageMaker Role Manager

Question 15

A company wants to build a system that automatically routes support tickets to the appropriate department based on the ticket text. The system must handle new categories that emerge over time without retraining. Which TWO approaches should the company combine to achieve this? (Select TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Use Amazon Comprehend for custom classification. Option B is correct because Amazon Comprehend custom classification can categorize ticket text into departments, providing the routing decision. Option E is correct because Amazon Kendra indexes support documents and uses semantic search to match ticket text to the most relevant department knowledge base, allowing new or emerging categories to be handled through indexed content without retraining the classifier. Together, Comprehend custom classification and Kendra enable routing that adapts to new categories by using Kendra to surface relevant department knowledge for unfamiliar tickets. Option A is incorrect because Amazon Forecast predicts time-series values like ticket volume, not ticket content or routing. Option C is incorrect because Comprehend topic modeling and entity detection discover topics and entities but do not directly route tickets to departments. Option D is incorrect because Amazon Rekognition analyzes images and video, not support ticket text.

Answer

Use Amazon Forecast to predict ticket volume

Answer

Use Amazon Comprehend for topic modeling and entity detection

Answer

Use Amazon Rekognition to analyze ticket images

Question 16

Which of the following is a key benefit of using foundation models over training a model from scratch for natural language tasks?

Question 17

A company is using Amazon Bedrock Agents to build a travel booking assistant that can search for flights, book hotels, and answer questions about travel policies. Which TWO components are required to enable the agent to call external services? (Select TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Action group with API schema. Option A (Action group with API schema) is correct because an action group defines the set of tasks the Bedrock Agent can perform and includes an OpenAPI schema that describes the external APIs the agent can invoke, which is the mechanism for calling external services. Option B (AWS Lambda function) is correct because Bedrock Agents use Lambda functions as the compute layer to execute the business logic for action groups, receiving the agent's request and returning the API response. Option C (Amazon DynamoDB table) is not required; it is only a possible data store for the Lambda function's implementation, not a component that enables external service calls. Option D (Amazon SageMaker endpoint) is not required; it is used for hosting custom ML models, not for enabling agent action groups. Option E (Bedrock Knowledge Base) is not required; it provides retrieval-augmented generation over data sources for answering questions, not for calling external services.

Answer

Amazon DynamoDB table

Answer

Amazon SageMaker endpoint

Answer

Bedrock Knowledge Base

Question 18

A company wants to build a generative AI application that can summarize customer support tickets. They need to ensure the model stays up-to-date with the latest product documentation without retraining. Which AWS service would best support this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Amazon Bedrock with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Amazon Bedrock with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is the correct choice because it allows the generative AI model to access and incorporate the latest product documentation from an external knowledge base without retraining. RAG works by retrieving relevant document chunks at inference time and injecting them into the model's context, ensuring responses reflect current information. This directly meets the requirement for staying up-to-date with evolving documentation while avoiding the cost and latency of full model retraining.

Question 19

A company deploys a large language model to automatically generate product descriptions. They want to ensure customers are aware that the content is AI-generated, as part of transparency requirements. What should they implement?

Accepted Answer

Include a disclosure statement such as 'This content was generated by AI' in the output. Transparency requirements for AI-generated content are best met by clearly disclosing to the end user that the content was generated by AI. Including a visible disclosure statement in the output directly informs customers at the point of consumption. This satisfies emerging AI transparency regulations and ethical guidelines.

Answer

Use Amazon Rekognition to add a visible watermark to images only

Answer

Answer

Embed an invisible watermark in the generated text

Question 20

A company is building a RAG application using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. They want to ensure that the model only answers based on the retrieved documents and does not use its internal knowledge. Which configuration should they use?

Accepted Answer

Enable the 'Only use retrieved context' option in the Knowledge Base configuration. Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases provides a specific configuration toggle called 'Only use retrieved context' that forces the foundation model to generate responses solely from the information in the retrieved document chunks, ignoring any internal knowledge the model may have been trained on. This ensures strict adherence to the retrieved context, which is critical for RAG applications requiring factual grounding.

Answer

Set the model temperature to 0

Answer

Use a fine-tuned model that has only seen the company's documents

Answer

Use a Guardrail with topic denial for out-of-scope topics
