AIF-C01 Practice Question: Track API calls made to Amazon SageMaker for…
A company wants to track API calls made to Amazon SageMaker for audit purposes. Which AWS service should they enable?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse AWS CloudTrail (for API auditing) with Amazon CloudWatch Logs (for log monitoring), mistakenly thinking CloudWatch Logs is the primary service for tracking API calls, but CloudTrail is the dedicated service for recording API activity across AWS.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS CloudTrail
AWS CloudTrail is the correct service because it records API activity across AWS services, including Amazon SageMaker. By enabling CloudTrail, the company can capture all SageMaker API calls (e.g., CreateModel, InvokeEndpoint) for audit, compliance, and security analysis. CloudTrail logs provide details such as the identity of the caller, the time of the call, and the request parameters, which are essential for auditing.
