MLA-C01 Practice Question: Audit all API calls made to SageMaker endpoints…
A company wants to audit all API calls made to SageMaker endpoints for security compliance. Which AWS service should they enable?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse GuardDuty's threat detection capabilities with CloudTrail's auditing function, or mistakenly think AWS Config's configuration tracking includes API call logging. Additionally, be aware that duplicate correct options (A and D) may appear in some questions; both are valid selections.

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
✓
AWS CloudTrail
AWS CloudTrail is the correct service because it records all API calls made to SageMaker endpoints, including the caller identity, time, source IP, and request parameters. This provides a complete audit trail for security compliance, enabling analysis of who made what changes and when. CloudTrail is specifically designed for governance, compliance, and operational auditing of AWS API activity. Note that both options A and D list 'AWS CloudTrail' and are therefore both correct. This duplication is an artifact in the question design but does not change the fact that CloudTrail is the right service.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
AWS CloudTrail
Why this is correct
Correct. CloudTrail records all API calls to SageMaker endpoints, providing a full audit trail for security compliance.

Amazon GuardDuty
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. GuardDuty is a threat detection service that monitors for malicious activity, not an API auditing service.
- ✗
AWS Config
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. AWS Config evaluates resource configurations and compliance, but does not log API call details.
- ✓
AWS CloudTrail
Why this is correct
Identical to option A; both correctly identify AWS CloudTrail as the service to enable for API auditing.
