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 use a lower value for the 'max_depth' hyperparameter in a decision tree model?
AOverfitting increases
BModel performance improves
CUnderfitting may occur
DTraining time decreases
Explanation
Lowering 'max_depth' can simplify the model, leading to underfitting, whereas the others are incorrect assumptions of how it affects model complexity.
Q412
Which service is best for real-time data processing?
AAmazon Kinesis
BAmazon S3
CAWS Lambda
DAmazon RDS
Explanation
Amazon Kinesis is specifically designed for real-time data streaming, while others focus on storage or batch processing.
Q413
A company needs to implement a machine learning model that predicts customer churn. What is the first step to take?
ATrain the model on existing data
BIdentify relevant features
CDeploy the model
DSelect an algorithm
Explanation
Identifying relevant features is crucial before training to ensure the model has the right input data, unlike the other options which come later in the process.
Q414
You are configuring a SageMaker model for automated deployments. If your model performs poorly, what happens when you update it with a new model version?
APrevious version gets automatically rolled back
BNew model version is not deployed
COld model stays active until tested
DService crashes with deployment failure
Explanation
The old model remains active until the new version is tested and validated, ensuring seamless transition without sudden service disruption.
Q415
Which service allows for real-time data processing in AWS?
AAWS Lambda
BAWS S3
CAWS Glue
DAmazon RDS
Explanation
AWS Lambda enables real-time data processing while the others are for storage or querying.
Q416
A company needs to deploy a model with automatic scaling and high availability. Which AWS service should they use?
AAmazon SageMaker
BAWS Step Functions
CAWS Batch
DAWS Glue
Explanation
Amazon SageMaker is designed for deploying machine learning models with scalability and availability.
Q417
What happens when you configure an AWS IAM user without permissions?
AUser can access everything
BUser can access some services
CUser has no access
DUser access is unlimited
Explanation
An IAM user without permissions has no access to any AWS services.
Q418
Which service facilitates model training using pre-built algorithms on AWS?
ASageMaker
BEC2
CS3
DCloudFormation
Explanation
SageMaker is specifically designed for machine learning, while EC2 is for general compute and the other two services support data storage and infrastructure management.
Q419
A company needs to analyze large-scale streaming data in real-time. Which AWS service is most suitable?
ARedshift
BKinesis
CS3
DGlue
Explanation
Kinesis is specifically designed for real-time streaming data analysis, while Redshift is for data warehousing, S3 is for storage, and Glue is for ETL tasks.
Q420
What happens when using an untagged resource and IAM policies based on tags for permissions?
AAccess is granted automatically
BAccess is denied
CAccess depends on other conditions
DResource becomes publicly accessible
Explanation
If a resource is untagged, it does not meet tag-based policy conditions, leading to access denial; the other options are incorrect interpretations of IAM behavior.
