A company is running ML models on premises by using custom Python scripts and proprietary datasets. The company is using PyTorch. The model building requires unique domain knowledge. The company needs to move the models to AWS.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST effort?

  1. Use SageMaker AI built-in algorithms to train the proprietary datasets.
  2. Use SageMaker AI script mode and premade images for ML frameworks.
  3. Build a container on AWS that includes custom packages and a choice of ML frameworks.
  4. Purchase similar production models through AWS Marketplace.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

SageMaker script mode allows you to bring existing custom Python scripts and run them on AWS with minimal changes. SageMaker provides prebuilt containers for ML frameworks like PyTorch, simplifying the migration process. This approach enables the company to leverage their existing Python scripts and domain knowledge while benefiting from the scalability and managed environment of SageMaker. It requires the least effort compared to building custom containers or retraining models from scratch.



A company is using Amazon SageMaker and millions of files to train an ML model. Each file is several megabytes in size. The files are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. The company needs to improve training performance.

Which solution will meet these requirements in the LEAST amount of time?

  1. Transfer the data to a new S3 bucket that provides S3 Express One Zone storage. Adjust the training job to use the new S3 bucket.
  2. Create an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system. Link the file system to the existing S3 bucket. Adjust the training job to read from the file system.
  3. Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system. Transfer the existing data to the file system. Adjust the training job to read from the file system.
  4. Create an Amazon ElastiCache (Redis OSS) cluster. Link the Redis OSS cluster to the existing S3 bucket.
    Stream the data from the Redis OSS cluster directly to the training job.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Amazon FSx for Lustre is designed for high-performance workloads like ML training. It provides fast, low- latency access to data by linking directly to the existing S3 bucket and caching frequently accessed files locally.
This significantly improves training performance compared to directly accessing millions of files from S3. It requires minimal changes to the training job and avoids the overhead of transferring or restructuring data, making it the fastest and most efficient solution.



A company wants to develop an ML model by using tabular data from its customers. The data contains meaningful ordered features with sensitive information that should not be discarded. An ML engineer must ensure that the sensitive data is masked before another team starts to build the model.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Use Amazon Made to categorize the sensitive data.
  2. Prepare the data by using AWS Glue DataBrew.
  3. Run an AWS Batch job to change the sensitive data to random values.
  4. Run an Amazon EMR job to change the sensitive data to random values.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

AWS Glue DataBrew provides an easy-to-use interface for preparing and transforming data, including masking or obfuscating sensitive information. It offers built-in data masking features, allowing the ML engineer to handle sensitive data securely while retaining its structure and meaning. This solution is efficient and requires minimal coding, making it ideal for ensuring sensitive data is masked before model building begins.



An ML engineer needs to deploy ML models to get inferences from large datasets in an asynchronous manner. The ML engineer also needs to implement scheduled monitoring of the data quality of the models. The ML engineer must receive alerts when changes in data quality occur.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Deploy the models by using scheduled AWS Glue jobs. Use Amazon CloudWatch alarms to monitor the data quality and to send alerts.
  2. Deploy the models by using scheduled AWS Batch jobs. Use AWS CloudTrail to monitor the data quality and to send alerts.
  3. Deploy the models by using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on AWS Fargate. Use Amazon EventBridge to monitor the data quality and to send alerts.
  4. Deploy the models by using Amazon SageMaker batch transform. Use SageMaker Model Monitor to monitor the data quality and to send alerts.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Amazon SageMaker batch transform is ideal for obtaining inferences from large datasets in an asynchronous manner, as it processes data in batches rather than requiring real-time inputs.
SageMaker Model Monitor allows scheduled monitoring of data quality, detecting shifts in input data characteristics, and generating alerts when changes in data quality occur.
This solution provides a fully managed, efficient way to handle both asynchronous inference and data quality monitoring with minimal operational overhead.



An ML engineer normalized training data by using min-max normalization in AWS Glue DataBrew. The ML engineer must normalize the production inference data in the same way as the training data before passing the production inference data to the model for predictions.

Which solution will meet this requirement?

  1. Apply statistics from a well-known dataset to normalize the production samples.
  2. Keep the min-max normalization statistics from the training set. Use these values to normalize the production samples.
  3. Calculate a new set of min-max normalization statistics from a batch of production samples. Use these values to normalize all the production samples.
  4. Calculate a new set of min-max normalization statistics from each production sample. Use these values to normalize all the production samples.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To ensure consistency between training and inference, the min-max normalization statistics (min and max values) calculated during training must be retained and applied to normalize production inference data. Using the same statistics ensures that the model receives data in the same scale and distribution as it did during training, avoiding discrepancies that could degrade model performance. Calculating new statistics from production data would lead to inconsistent normalization and affect predictions.



A company is planning to use Amazon SageMaker AI to make classification ratings that are based on images. The company has 6 TB of training data that is stored on an Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP system virtual machine (SVM). The SVM is in the same VPC as SageMaker AI.

An ML engineer must make the training data accessible for ML models that are in the SageMaker AI environment.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Mount the FSx for ONTAP file system as a volume to the SageMaker AI Instance.
  2. Create an Amazon S3 bucket. Use Mountpoint for Amazon S3 to link the S3 bucket to the FSx for ONTAP file system.
  3. Create a catalog connection from SageMaker Data Wrangler to the FSx for ONTAP file system.
  4. Create a direct connection from SageMaker Data Wrangler to the FSx for ONTAP file system.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP allows mounting the file system as a network-attached storage (NAS) volume. Since the FSx for ONTAP file system and SageMaker instance are in the same VPC, you can directly mount the file system to the SageMaker instance. This approach ensures efficient access to the 6 TB of training data without the need to duplicate or transfer the data, meeting the requirements with minimal complexity and operational overhead.



A company regularly receives new training data from the vendor of an ML model. The vendor delivers cleaned and prepared data to the company's Amazon S3 bucket every 3-4 days.

The company has an Amazon SageMaker AI pipeline to retrain the model. An ML engineer needs to implement a solution to run the pipeline when new data is uploaded to the S3 bucket.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational effort?

  1. Create an S3 Lifecycle rule to transfer the data to the SageMaker AI training instance and to initiate training.
  2. Create an AWS Lambda function that scans the S3 bucket. Program the Lambda function to initiate the pipeline when new data is uploaded.
  3. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that has an event pattern that matches the S3 upload. Configure the pipeline as the target of the rule.
  4. Use Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) to orchestrate the pipeline when new data is uploaded.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Using Amazon EventBridge with an event pattern that matches S3 upload events provides an automated, low-effort solution. When new data is uploaded to the S3 bucket, the EventBridge rule triggers the SageMaker pipeline. This approach minimizes operational overhead by eliminating the need for custom scripts or external orchestration tools while seamlessly integrating with the existing S3 and SageMaker setup.



An ML engineer is developing a fraud detection model by using the Amazon SageMaker XGBoost algorithm. The model classifies transactions as either fraudulent or legitimate.

During testing, the model excels at identifying fraud in the training dataset. However, the model is inefficient at identifying fraud in new and unseen transactions.

What should the ML engineer do to improve the fraud detection for new transactions?

  1. Increase the learning rate.
  2. Remove some irrelevant features from the training dataset.
  3. Increase the value of the max_depth hyperparameter.
  4. Decrease the value of the max_depth hyperparameter.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A high max_depth value in XGBoost can lead to overfitting, where the model learns the training dataset too well but fails to generalize to new and unseen data. By decreasing the max_depth, the model becomes less complex, reducing overfitting and improving its ability to detect fraud in new transactions. This adjustment helps the model focus on general patterns rather than memorizing specific details in the training data.
