MLS-C01 Modeling Practice Question
A machine learning engineer needs to deploy a real-time inference endpoint for a model that requires GPU acceleration for low latency. Which AWS service should be used?
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
✓
Amazon SageMaker real-time endpoint
Amazon SageMaker provides real-time endpoints that support GPU instances for low-latency inference. AWS Lambda does not support GPU, and Batch is for asynchronous processing. EC2 would require manual management.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Amazon SageMaker real-time endpoint
Why this is correct
SageMaker real-time endpoints support GPU instances and provide low-latency inference.
- ✗
Amazon SageMaker batch transform
Why it's wrong here
Batch transform is for asynchronous batch inference, not real-time.
- ✗
Amazon EC2 with auto scaling
Why it's wrong here
EC2 requires manual setup and management, not a managed inference service.
- ✗
AWS Lambda with GPU
Why it's wrong here
AWS Lambda does not support GPU.

Cloud Service Model Comparison
| Model | You Manage | Provider Manages | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| IaaS | OS, runtime, apps, data | Hardware, hypervisor, networking | EC2, Azure VMs, GCP Compute Engine |
| PaaS | Apps and data | OS, runtime, middleware, hardware | Elastic Beanstalk, Azure App Service |
| SaaS | Data and settings only | Everything else | Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Workday |
| FaaS / Serverless | Function code only | Infra, scaling, runtime | Lambda, Azure Functions, Cloud Run |
| CaaS | Containers and apps | Kubernetes, OS, hardware | EKS, AKS, GKE |
