MLS-C01 Practice Question: Machine Learning Implementation and Operations
A machine learning engineer is using Amazon SageMaker to train a deep learning model. The training job is failing with a 'ResourceLimitExceeded' error. The engineer checks the account limits and sees that the current limit for the instance type is 2, and they are already using 2 instances for other jobs. Which approach would resolve the issue MOST cost-effectively?
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 a different instance type that is available and has sufficient capacity
Using a different instance type within the same family often has separate limits. Option A increases cost. Option C may not resolve if the limit is account-wide. Option D changes the request, not the limit.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Request a service limit increase for the current instance type
Why it's wrong here
This may take time and does not reduce cost.
- ✓
Use a different instance type that is available and has sufficient capacity
Why this is correct
Different instance types have separate limits and may be available immediately.
- ✗
Use a managed spot training instead of on-demand
Why it's wrong here
Spot training uses the same instance type limits.
- ✗
Stop the other training jobs to free up resources
Why it's wrong here
Stopping other jobs may not be acceptable and does not address the limit.
