MLA-C01 Deployment and Orchestration of ML Workflows Practice Question
A team uses MLflow on SageMaker for experiment tracking. They want to automatically deploy the best-performing model from an MLflow run to a SageMaker endpoint for real-time inference. What is the MOST efficient way to achieve this?
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
✓
Use SageMaker Pipelines with the MLflow integration to register the model and deploy via a Transform step
The MLflow Model Registry can be integrated with SageMaker via the MLflow plugin for SageMaker, which allows direct deployment from the registry to an endpoint. Alternatively, using SageMaker Pipelines with the MLflow integration is more automated and production-grade.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use AWS Step Functions to trigger an MLflow run and then call SageMaker CreateEndpoint
Why it's wrong here
This is possible but less integrated than Pipelines; Step Functions would require custom glue code.
- ✓
Use SageMaker Pipelines with the MLflow integration to register the model and deploy via a Transform step
Why this is correct
SageMaker Pipelines can automate the workflow: get best run from MLflow, register model, and deploy using a Transform or endpoint deployment step.
- ✗
Set up an EventBridge rule to trigger a Lambda that deploys the model whenever a new MLflow run is logged
Why it's wrong here
This is event-driven but does not handle selecting the best run; it would deploy every run.
- ✗
Manually export the model artifact from MLflow and upload to S3, then create a SageMaker model and endpoint
Why it's wrong here
Manual steps are not efficient and prone to error.
