Amazon MLS-C01 Exam - Topic 5 Question 64 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's MLS-C01 exam

Question #: 64
Topic #: 5

A company is building a demand forecasting model based on machine learning (ML). In the development stage, an ML specialist uses an Amazon SageMaker notebook to perform feature engineering during work hours that consumes low amounts of CPU and memory resources. A data engineer uses the same notebook to perform data preprocessing once a day on average that requires very high memory and completes in only 2 hours. The data preprocessing is not configured to use GPU. All the processes are running well on an ml.m5.4xlarge notebook instance.

The company receives an AWS Budgets alert that the billing for this month exceeds the allocated budget.

Which solution will result in the MOST cost savings?

AChange the notebook instance type to a memory optimized instance with the same vCPU number as the ml.m5.4xlarge instance has. Stop the notebook when it is not in use. Run both data preprocessing and feature engineering development on that instance.

BKeep the notebook instance type and size the same. Stop the notebook when it is not in use. Run data preprocessing on a P3 instance type with the same memory as the ml.m5.4xlarge instance by using Amazon SageMaker Processing.

CChange the notebook instance type to a smaller general purpose instance. Stop the notebook when it is not in use. Run data preprocessing on an ml.r5 instance with the same memory size as the ml.m5.4xlarge instance by using Amazon SageMaker Processing.

DChange the notebook instance type to a smaller general purpose instance. Stop the notebook when it is not in use. Run data preprocessing on an R5 instance with the same memory size as the ml.m5.4xlarge instance by using the Reserved Instance option.

I think any change will help, but I'm not sure which one is best.

Stopping the notebook when not in use is a must, for sure!

Wait, why not just optimize the current instance instead of switching?

I disagree, D might be better with the Reserved Instance savings.

Option C seems like a solid choice for cost savings.

I’m leaning towards option A because it keeps everything on one instance, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the most cost-effective solution in the long run.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where stopping the instance when not in use was key to saving costs. I just can't recall if that applies to all options here.

I think option C sounds familiar; it mentions changing to a smaller general-purpose instance, which might save costs, but I wonder if it can handle the data preprocessing effectively.

I remember we discussed how using a memory-optimized instance could help with high memory tasks, but I'm not sure if it's the best option here.

I'm pretty confident the answer is D. Manufacturing lead time is the standard term used to describe the time required for production.

I think the key here is to identify the tables that have foreign key relationships to the Account Master table. That should give me the tables I need to look at more closely.

Kickbacks feels right, but I'll double-check by thinking through what the term actually means in a business context.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of this question. I'll need to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand what it's asking.
