Start Machine Learning Implementation and Operations PracticeDrag and drop the steps to evaluate a trained model using SageMaker Model Monitor in the correct order.
Explanation: Model Monitor requires enabling data capture, creating baseline, schedule, and reviewing reports.
An ML team is using Amazon SageMaker to train a model. They notice that the training job is taking longer than expected and the CloudWatch metrics show high GPU utilization but low CPU utilization. Which action is MOST likely to improve training speed?
Explanation: High GPU utilization with low CPU utilization typically indicates that the GPU is actively computing and the CPU is not a bottleneck for data preprocessing. However, this does not rule out I/O inefficiencies at the storage layer. SageMaker Pipe mode streaming eliminates the need to download data to the local filesystem first, reducing I/O wait times. Even when the GPU is busy, reducing I/O overhead can speed up the training by decreasing the time between batches and allowing the GPU to process more data per unit time.
A company uses SageMaker to run training jobs on a schedule. The training data is stored in an S3 bucket that receives new data every hour. Which TWO approaches can the company use to trigger a training job when new data arrives?
Explanation: Both options B and E are correct because they use an event-driven approach to trigger a training job when new data arrives. Option B uses Amazon EventBridge to capture S3 Object Created events and route them to a Lambda function, which starts the SageMaker training job via the AWS SDK. Option E uses the native S3 event notification feature to directly invoke a Lambda function on object creation, which then starts the training job. Both methods are valid and eliminate the need for polling or scheduled jobs.
A data scientist has trained a model using SageMaker and wants to deploy it to an endpoint. Which step is required before deployment?
Explanation: Before deploying a trained model to a SageMaker endpoint, you must create a SageMaker Model object. This can be done via the 'Create model' API or by using the Model Registry, but the registry is optional. None of the provided options describe the required step: uploading training data (A) is done before training, creating a custom Docker image (B) is only needed for custom containers, retraining (C) is unrelated to deployment, and registering in the Model Registry (D) is not mandatory because you can create a model directly.
Which TWO actions can help reduce inference latency for a SageMaker endpoint?
Explanation: SageMaker Neo optimizes trained models for a specific target hardware platform by compiling the model graph, fusing operations, and applying quantization and pruning techniques. This reduces the model's memory footprint and computational requirements, directly decreasing inference latency at the endpoint. Option D, 'Enable SageMaker Endpoint Cache,' is not a real SageMaker feature; there is no managed endpoint cache service. Batch transform (A) is used for offline inference, not for reducing endpoint latency. Larger instance types (C) primarily increase throughput and may not improve per-request latency. Multi-model endpoints (E) reduce model loading overhead but do not directly affect inference latency.
