Refer to the exhibit. A custom training job using Pipe input mode fails. The logs indicate the algorithm cannot read the data. What is the most likely issue?

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 algorithm expects File mode but Pipe mode is specified

Pipe mode streams data from S3 via stdin, but the algorithm must be designed to read from a pipe rather than a file. Many custom algorithms expect file input, causing a failure. Option A is correct because Pipe mode is incompatible with algorithms expecting File mode. Option B is incorrect because instance size does not affect data reading. Option C is incorrect because the data is not compressed. Option D is incorrect because the training image is accessible.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • The algorithm expects File mode but Pipe mode is specified

    Why this is correct

    Pipe mode sends data via pipe; algorithms expecting files will fail.

  • The instance type is too small for the data

    Why it's wrong here

    No indication of resource exhaustion.

  • The training data is compressed

    Why it's wrong here

    CompressionType is None.

  • The training image is not accessible

    Why it's wrong here

    The image URI is valid and the job started.
