AWS Certified Machine Learning – SpecialtyMachine Learning Implementation and OperationsHard
A data science team needs to implement a robust MLOps practice where new model versions are automatically trained, evaluated, and deployed based on new data or code changes. They want to define a series of steps for this entire workflow, including data preprocessing, training, model evaluation, and conditional deployment, all orchestrated within SageMaker. Which AWS service is purpose-built for defining and managing such end-to-end ML workflows?
- AAmazon SageMaker Studio
- BAmazon SageMaker Pipelines
- CAmazon EventBridge
- DAWS CodePipeline
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Amazon SageMaker Pipelines
Amazon SageMaker Pipelines is a purpose-built MLOps service for building, automating, and managing end-to-end machine learning workflows. It allows data scientists and ML engineers to define a sequence of steps (like data processing, training, evaluation, registration, and conditional deployment), track lineage, and automate the entire ML lifecycle, directly addressing the need for a robust, orchestrated MLOps practice within SageMaker.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. SageMaker Studio is an IDE for ML development, not an orchestration service for end-to-end workflows.
- C. EventBridge is a serverless event bus for connecting applications, not an orchestration tool for complex, multi-step ML workflows.
- D. AWS CodePipeline can orchestrate general software releases, but SageMaker Pipelines offers ML-specific steps, lineage tracking, and integration unique to ML workflows.
