- A
Enable SageMaker Data Compression for network transfer.
Compression reduces data transfer time.
- B
Use GPU instances (e.g., p3, inf1) for faster inference.
GPUs accelerate deep learning inference.
- C
Use SageMaker Multi-Model Endpoints to serve multiple models.
Multi-model endpoints can share resources efficiently.
- D
Use SageMaker Serverless Inference to avoid managing instances.
Why wrong: Serverless has payload limits (6 MB) and cold starts.
- E
Attach Elastic Inference accelerators.
Why wrong: Elastic Inference is deprecated.
MLS-C01 Practice Question: Machine Learning Implementation and Operations
This MLS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of machine learning implementation and operations. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which THREE are valid considerations when deploying a large deep learning model (10 GB) on a SageMaker endpoint? (Choose 3.)
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
Enable SageMaker Data Compression for network transfer.
Using GPU instances (Option A), enabling data compression (Option C), and using multi-model endpoints (Option D) are valid considerations. Option B (Elastic Inference) is deprecated and not recommended. Option E (serverless inference) has a payload limit and cold starts unsuitable for large models.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A healthcare organisation deploys an application with a public-facing web tier and a private database tier. The database subnet has no public IP and only accepts connections from the web tier's security group. Questions like this test whether you can design cloud network isolation using VNets/VPCs, subnets, and security group rules.
