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.
What happens when you enable automatic scaling for an Amazon SageMaker endpoint?
AIt reallocates training jobs automatically.
BIt scales ML model replicas based on traffic.
CIt increases data input size automatically.
DIt deletes under-utilized resources immediately.
Explanation
Automatic scaling adjusts the number of replicas based on incoming requests, while others describe incorrect behaviors of the service.
Q382
Which service is best for deploying ML models as APIs?
AAWS SageMaker
BAWS Lambda
CAWS Batch
DAWS Glue
Explanation
AWS SageMaker is designed for deploying ML models, while others serve different purposes like data processing or serverless computing.
Q383
A company needs to securely store and share sensitive user data in S3. What should they use?
AS3 with public access
BS3 bucket policies
CS3 Transfer Acceleration
DS3 Object Lock
Explanation
S3 bucket policies control access securely, unlike public access or other options.
Q384
You are configuring an ML pipeline with data preprocessing on AWS. What happens if a transformation fails?
AThe entire pipeline fails
BThe failed step retries automatically
CThe pipeline ignores the step
DThe data is processed as is
Explanation
The entire pipeline fails if a critical transformation step fails; it does not ignore steps.
Q385
Which AWS service is used for creating data lakes?
AAmazon S3
BAmazon RDS
CAWS Lambda
DAmazon EC2
Explanation
Amazon S3 is designed for scalable data storage, making it suitable for data lakes, while RDS is for relational databases, Lambda is for serverless computing, and EC2 for virtual servers.
Q386
A company needs to reduce costs for infrequently accessed data. Which storage class should they choose?
AS3 Standard
BS3 Intelligent-Tiering
CS3 Standard-IA
DS3 Glacier
Explanation
S3 Standard-IA (Infrequent Access) is optimal for infrequently accessed data, while Glacier is for archiving and Standard for frequently accessed data.
Q387
What happens when you try to invoke an AWS Lambda function with an incorrect IAM policy?
AFunction executes without errors.
BInvocation fails with permission error.
CFunction is throttled on invocation.
DLambda function triggers an alert.
Explanation
An incorrect IAM policy results in a permission error, while successful execution requires valid permissions; throttling relates to limited usage, and alerts are not a standard response.
Q388
A data scientist is deploying a model to predict customer churn. Which AWS service should they use for real-time predictions?
AAmazon SageMaker Endpoint
BAWS Glue
CAmazon S3
DAWS Lambda
Explanation
Amazon SageMaker Endpoint allows for real-time predictions, while the others serve different purposes like ETL or storage.
Q389
You are configuring an IAM policy to allow EC2 instance creation. What must the policy action include?
Aec2:RunInstances
Biam:CreateRole
Cec2:DescribeInstances
Ds3:PutObject
Explanation
The correct action is ec2:RunInstances, as it directly permits instance creation, unlike the others.
Q390
What happens when you use an incorrect model artifact in an Amazon SageMaker batch transform job?
AJob fails without running
BModel automatically corrected
CJob produces random predictions
DLogs show successful completion
Explanation
The job will fail without running as it cannot find a valid model, while others suggest incorrect outcomes.
