AI-200 Security And Observability Practice Question
You are investigating performance degradation in an Azure Machine Learning inference pipeline. Which TWO of the following steps are appropriate for diagnosing the bottleneck? (Choose TWO)
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 Application Insights to examine the 'Dependencies' and 'Requests' logs for duration outliers.
Analyzing telemetry through Application Insights and checking endpoint logs in the workspace are the standard methods to isolate performance issues.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Change the SKU of the underlying compute cluster to a lower tier.
Why it's wrong here
This would likely worsen performance, not diagnose it.
- ✗
Restart the Azure Machine Learning workspace to clear cache.
Why it's wrong here
Restarting the workspace is not a valid troubleshooting step for inference pipelines.
- ✓
Use Application Insights to examine the 'Dependencies' and 'Requests' logs for duration outliers.
Why this is correct
This helps identify which specific step or service call is causing the latency.
- ✗
Delete and recreate the deployment without checking logs.
Why it's wrong here
This destroys evidence and is not a valid diagnostic procedure.
- ✓
Review the 'Logs' tab in the Azure Machine Learning endpoint overview to check for container-level errors.
Why this is correct
Endpoint logs reveal if the model process is crashing or timing out.
