AIP-C01 Operational Efficiency And Optimization Practice Question
You notice that your SageMaker model endpoint experiences cold starts. Which feature can mitigate this?
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
✓
Enabling Provisioned Concurrency
Provisioned Concurrency maintains a set number of initialized instances, eliminating cold starts for serverless inference.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Increasing the instance count
Why it's wrong here
Instance count doesn't directly solve cold starts for serverless.
- ✗
Changing the container image
Why it's wrong here
Container size affects cold starts, but Provisioned Concurrency is the direct feature.
- ✗
Using a smaller model
Why it's wrong here
Model size is not the only factor in cold starts.
- ✓
Enabling Provisioned Concurrency
Why this is correct
Provisioned Concurrency pre-warms resources to avoid cold starts.
