The AWS Certified Machine Learning Engineer – Associate (MLA-C01) exam validates your skills in building, training, and deploying machine learning models on AWS. It is ideal for those looking to specialize in machine learning.
A company needs to deploy a predictive maintenance model for factory equipment. Which ML strategy would be most suitable?
AClustering
BSupervised Learning
CReinforcement Learning
DUnsupervised Learning
Explanation
Supervised Learning is best for predictive tasks based on labeled data.
Q102
You are configuring IAM roles for an EKS cluster. What happens if permissions are too permissive?
AIncreased security risks
BEKS cluster will malfunction
CCosts will increase
DNo impact on operations
Explanation
Too permissive permissions expose resources to security threats, while others are incorrect consequences.
Q103
What service would you use for the automatic deployment of machine learning models?
AAmazon SageMaker
BAWS Glue
CAmazon Comprehend
DAmazon QuickSight
Explanation
Amazon SageMaker is designed specifically for deploying ML models; others do not focus on model deployment.
Q104
A company needs to perform real-time inference on streaming data. Which service is best suited for this?
AAmazon S3
BAmazon Kinesis
CAWS Batch
DAmazon RDS
Explanation
Amazon Kinesis is ideal for real-time data streaming; the others are not designed for real-time processing.
Q105
You are configuring an event-driven architecture with AWS. What happens when a Lambda function runs for more time than its timeout setting?
AFunction continues running until complete
BFunction is terminated and fails
CFunction returns partially processed result
DFunction retries automatically until success
Explanation
The Lambda function will terminate and fail if it exceeds the timeout; others imply incorrect behavior.
Q106
Which AWS service is best for version control of machine learning models?
AS3 Versioning
BCodeCommit
CSageMaker Model Registry
DLambda Layers
Explanation
SageMaker Model Registry is designed specifically for managing ML model versions, while the others do not offer this specific functionality.
Q107
A company needs to deploy a scalable real-time prediction API. Which service should they use?
AAWS Batch
BSageMaker Hosting Services
CElastic Map Reduce
DRDS Multi-AZ
Explanation
SageMaker Hosting Services provide a scalable endpoint for real-time predictions, unlike the other options.
Q108
What happens when you use a model built with SageMaker in a Lambda function?
ALambda can execute without memory constraints
BInvocation results in faster execution times
CThere is no latency in model predictions
DYou must manage resource scaling manually
Explanation
Using Lambda with SageMaker requires managing resource scaling, as Lambda has its own execution environment limits.
Q109
Which AWS service can analyze unstructured data using machine learning?
AAmazon Comprehend
BAmazon S3
CAmazon EC2
DAmazon RDS
Explanation
Amazon Comprehend specializes in natural language processing to analyze unstructured data, while the others do not focus on unstructured data analysis.
Q110
A company needs to manage data storage life cycles. Which S3 feature should they use?
AS3 Glacier
BS3 Lifecycle Policies
CS3 Versioning
DS3 Events
Explanation
S3 Lifecycle Policies allow automatic management of data lifecycle, unlike Glacier, versioning, or events.
