Q1. A company has recently migrated to AWS Cloud and it wants to optimize the hardware used for its AI workflows. Which of the following would you suggest?
Answer: A. Leverage AWS Trainium for high-performance, cost-effective Deep Learning training. Leverage AWS Inferentia for the deep learning (DL) and generative AI inference applications
AWS Trainium is purpose-built for high-performance and cost-effective deep learning model training. Conversely, AWS Inferentia is specifically designed to provide the lowest cost and highest performance for deep learning and generative AI inference workloads on Amazon EC2.
Q2. Which AWS service helps you set up a cloud contact center in just a few clicks and onboard agents to help customers?
Answer: A. Amazon Connect
Amazon Connect provides an easy-to-use, cloud-based contact center that can be set up in minutes and supports agents anywhere. While Amazon Lex builds conversational chatbots, it is not the contact center platform itself.
Q3. A company is using a generative AI model to summarize a text based on a given prompt without providing specific examples in the prompt instructions. What type of prompting technique does the given use case represent?
Answer: C. Zero shot Prompting
Zero-shot prompting asks a model to perform a task without providing specific examples in the prompt. Few-shot prompting is incorrect because it relies on giving the model multiple examples to guide its output.
Q4. A retail company is seeking to empower its business analysts to create data-driven dashboards without needing technical expertise in coding or data query languages. The company wants a solution that allows analysts to use natural language…
Answer: A. Amazon Q in QuickSight
Amazon Q in QuickSight is a generative business intelligence assistant that lets business analysts build dashboards using natural language. Amazon Q Business targets enterprise data search, while Q Developer focuses on coding tasks.
Q5. A technology company is considering using Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance its AI-driven customer support system. The development team is particularly interested in understanding the nature of LLMs, as this knowledge will help the t…
Answer: D. The Large Language Models (LLMs) are non-deterministic
Large Language Models are non-deterministic, meaning the same prompt can yield different outputs. Temperature controls this variability; lower values make responses more deterministic, while higher values increase creativity.
Q6. A manufacturing company is developing a machine learning model to optimize its supply chain operations. The data science team needs to prepare the dataset by dividing it into train, test, and validation sets to ensure the model is trained…
Answer: B. Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler
Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler provides a visual interface to prepare data for machine learning, including creating train, validation, and test splits. Ground Truth handles data labeling, whereas Clarify detects bias.
Q7. A company is using Amazon Personalize to build a recommendations engine for its e-commerce application. As part of the process, the data from ten different sources needs to be processed and imported into Amazon Personalize. Which AWS servi…
Answer: B. Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler
SageMaker Data Wrangler reduces data preparation time by letting you import, clean, and transform tabular data from multiple sources visually. Feature Store only manages ML features, while Ground Truth is strictly for data labeling.
Q8. A media company is deploying machine learning models using Amazon SageMaker to generate personalized content recommendations. Since the company has intermittent workloads and it does not want to configure or manage the underlying infrastru…
Answer: C. Serverless Inference
Serverless Inference is ideal for intermittent traffic because it scales to zero and tolerates cold starts, eliminating infrastructure management. Real-time endpoints keep persistent instances running, which costs more during idle periods.
Q9. An e-learning company is developing a Large Language Model (LLM) chatbot using Amazon Bedrock to enhance the personalized learning experience on its platform. The chatbot needs to dynamically tailor its responses based on the user's age gr…
Answer: A. Implement dynamic prompt engineering to customize responses based on user characteristics like age
Dynamic prompt engineering lets you alter input instructions on the fly to generate age-appropriate responses without modifying the model. Fine-tuning or retraining is unnecessary and inefficient for simple stylistic adjustments.
Q10. A tech startup is customizing a Foundation Model using Amazon Bedrock to enhance its machine learning capabilities for analyzing customer behavior and predicting market trends. As part of this customization, the company needs to perform mo…
Answer: B. The company should use Amazon S3, which is a scalable object storage service fully integrated with Amazon Bedrock
Amazon S3 is the primary storage service for Amazon Bedrock model customization, providing scalable and fully integrated dataset access. EBS and EFS are block and file storage services, which are not natively used for Bedrock training data.
Q11. A healthcare organization is deploying machine learning models to assist in patient diagnosis and treatment planning. To ensure responsible use and compliance with healthcare regulations, the data science team needs a tool that offers clea…
Answer: D. Amazon SageMaker Model Cards
Amazon SageMaker Model Cards are used to document critical model details like intended use and risk rating, supporting governance and reporting. Avoid Amazon SageMaker Model Monitor here, as its primary function is tracking production model performance drift rather than establishing usage guidelines.
Q12. A financial services company is developing several machine learning models to handle fraud detection, credit scoring, and customer segmentation. To ensure consistent use of data and foster collaboration among its data scientists, the compa…
Answer: A. SageMaker Feature Store
SageMaker Feature Store provides a centralized repository to store, share, and manage machine learning features across teams. Model Monitor handles production drift, Data Wrangler prepares raw data, and Clarify detects bias in datasets and models.
Q13. A large e-commerce company uses a language model (LLM) to assist its customer service agents by generating responses to customer queries. However, the company is concerned about prompt engineering attacks, where malicious users craft input…
Answer: D. Create a prompt template that teaches the LLM to detect attack patterns
Using carefully designed prompt templates helps the model recognize malicious patterns and reject inappropriate instructions. Restricting prompt length or disabling inputs fails to address the core issue of adversarial prompt engineering without breaking functionality.
Q14. A tech startup is developing a new foundation model (FM) for image classification, aiming to deploy it for use in various applications, from identifying product defects to recognizing objects in photos. The team needs to assess the accurac…
Answer: B. Use a benchmark dataset for evaluation
Benchmark datasets provide a standardized, objective baseline to rigorously evaluate model accuracy against broader industry standards. Testing on training data causes overfitting, while deploying untested models into production or relying on random manual checks introduces unnecessary risk.
Q15. A wildlife research organization has gathered thousands of images from camera traps in natural reserves worldwide, capturing various animal species. To support their research and conservation efforts, the organization wants to build a syst…
Answer: C. The company should use object detection, which involves identifying and locating specific objects within an image
Object detection is the correct technique because it identifies and locates specific objects within images, which fits the animal tracking use case. Face recognition only handles human faces, whereas thermal imaging shows heat rather than visual features needed for precise classification.
Q16. Which of the following use cases is addressed by Amazon Personalize?
Answer: A. Generate recommendations for items that are similar to an item you specify
Amazon Personalize is the correct choice because it generates item recommendations based on user behavior and metadata. Amazon Kendra handles enterprise search, while Amazon Textract extracts layout elements from documents, making them incorrect for a recommendation use case.
