AIF-C01 Practice Question: Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions
A machine learning team uses Amazon SageMaker to train models. They need to ensure that only approved base models from the AWS Marketplace can be used, and that training jobs cannot access the internet. Which TWO configurations should they implement?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use SageMaker Model Registry to control which models are approved and enforce use via IAM policies
To restrict model access, use SageMaker Studio's model registry or IAM policies to limit which models can be used. To prevent internet access, configure the training job with a VPC without a NAT gateway. Data encryption does not restrict model access. The other options are not relevant.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use SageMaker Role Manager to create a role that denies access to the marketplace
Why it's wrong here
Role Manager simplifies role creation but does not specifically restrict marketplace models.
- ✓
Use SageMaker Model Registry to control which models are approved and enforce use via IAM policies
Why this is correct
Model Registry with IAM policies can restrict which models can be used for training.
- ✗
Create a VPC endpoint for SageMaker and S3
Why it's wrong here
VPC endpoints allow private access but do not restrict internet access or model usage.
- ✗
Enable data encryption at rest using KMS
Why it's wrong here
Encryption protects data but does not control which models are used or internet access.
- ✓
Enable network isolation for the training job and place it in a private subnet with no internet access
Why this is correct
Network isolation prevents internet access; a private subnet without NAT ensures no outbound internet.
