CLF-C02 - Cloud Technology and Services - Section 3.10

Identify AWS artificial intelligence, machine learning and analytics services, such as Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Lex, Amazon Kendra, Amazon Athena, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Glue and Amazon QuickSight.

Identify key AWS AI, ML, and analytics services: Amazon SageMaker for building ML models, Amazon Lex for conversational interfaces, Amazon Kendra for enterprise search, Amazon Athena for serverless SQL on S3, Amazon Kinesis for real-time streaming, AWS Glue for serverless ETL, and Amazon QuickSight for business intelligence. Choose the right service for a data or intelligence need.

A data science team wants a managed service that lets them build, train and deploy their own machine learning models without setting up and patching the underlying training infrastructure themselves. Which AWS service is purpose-built for this end-to-end machine learning work?

  • AAmazon Athena, which lets the team run standard SQL queries directly against stored data so they can explore datasets before any analysis begins
  • BAmazon SageMaker, which gives the team managed tools to build, train and deploy their own machine learning models on infrastructure AWS operates Correct
  • CAmazon Kinesis, which collects and processes streaming data in real time so the team can react to events as the events arrive at the service
  • DAmazon QuickSight, which builds interactive dashboards and visual reports so the team can present findings to business users across the company
Amazon SageMaker is the managed service for building, training and deploying custom machine learning models. Amazon SageMaker provides managed tooling across the full machine learning lifecycle of building, training and deploying models, so teams get those capabilities without provisioning or maintaining the training infrastructure themselves.

Why A is wrong: Athena queries data with SQL and is useful for exploring datasets, but it does not build, train or deploy machine learning models.

Why B is correct: SageMaker is the managed machine learning service that covers building, training and deploying models, so the team avoids running training infrastructure themselves.

Why C is wrong: Kinesis ingests and processes streaming data, which is tempting for live data, but it is not the service used to build and train models.

Why D is wrong: QuickSight visualises data in dashboards for reporting, so it presents results rather than building or training machine learning models.
