MLA-C01 Practice Question: Using SageMaker Model Registry to manage model…
A company is using SageMaker Model Registry to manage model versions. They want to automatically deploy the latest approved model to production after retraining. Which approach is best?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often choose Option B because it sounds automated, but they overlook the critical requirement for model approval before deployment, which Lambda alone cannot enforce without additional logic.

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
✓
Create a SageMaker Pipeline that includes a model approval step and deployment step
A SageMaker Pipeline can orchestrate the entire workflow from retraining to deployment, including a model approval step that gates deployment to production only when the model is approved. This automates the process end-to-end, ensuring that only approved models are deployed, which aligns with the requirement to automatically deploy the latest approved model after retraining.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Manually deploy the approved model using the SageMaker console
Why it's wrong here
Manual deployment is not automatic and is error-prone.
- ✗
Use AWS Lambda to update the endpoint whenever a new model version is created
Why it's wrong here
Lambda would need to check approval status and can become complex; not best practice.
- ✓
Create a SageMaker Pipeline that includes a model approval step and deployment step
Why this is correct
SageMaker Pipelines can model the entire workflow including conditional deployment based on approval.
- ✗
Schedule a CloudWatch Event to invoke a SageMaker update endpoint API daily
Why it's wrong here
This would not consider approval status and may deploy unapproved models.
