MLS-C01 Practice Question: Machine Learning Implementation and Operations
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit.
{
"EndpointConfigName": "my-endpoint-config",
"ProductionVariants": [
{
"VariantName": "variant1",
"ModelName": "my-model",
"InitialInstanceCount": 1,
"InstanceType": "ml.m5.large"
}
]
}A SageMaker endpoint configuration is shown in the exhibit. The company wants to deploy the model to a real-time endpoint. What is missing from this configuration to successfully create the endpoint?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the EndpointConfigName (which is present) with the EndpointName, assuming the configuration itself names the endpoint, but AWS requires an explicit separate EndpointName parameter in the CreateEndpoint call.
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
✓
The endpoint name is not specified in the configuration
The endpoint configuration must include an EndpointName parameter to uniquely identify the endpoint within the AWS account and region. Without it, the CreateEndpoint API call fails because the service cannot route traffic or manage the deployment. The exhibit shows a valid EndpointConfigName, but the endpoint itself is not named, which is a required field for real-time inference endpoints.
