MLA-C01 Practice Question: Running a SageMaker endpoint serving multiple…
A company is running a SageMaker endpoint serving multiple models. They need to monitor for data drift and model quality. Which THREE actions are necessary? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse SageMaker Debugger (for training) with SageMaker Model Monitor (for inference), leading them to select Debugger instead of the correct monitoring schedule and baseline configuration.
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 data capture on the endpoint
Enabling data capture on the SageMaker endpoint is a prerequisite for monitoring data drift and model quality. Data capture automatically records input requests and output responses from the endpoint, which SageMaker Model Monitor later analyzes against a baseline to detect drift. Without data capture, there is no data to compare against the baseline constraints.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Deploy a shadow endpoint for comparison
Why it's wrong here
Shadow endpoint is for traffic shifting, not monitoring drift.
- ✓
Enable data capture on the endpoint
Why this is correct
Data capture logs inference requests for monitoring.
- ✗
Use SageMaker Debugger for monitoring
Why it's wrong here
Debugger is for training debugging, not production monitoring.
- ✓
Create a SageMaker Model Monitor schedule
Why this is correct
Schedule defines how often to run monitoring jobs.
- ✓
Configure baseline constraints from training data
Why this is correct
Baseline constraints define expected statistical properties for drift detection.
