AWS Certified Machine Learning Engineer – Associate (MLA-C01) — Question 49

A company uses Amazon SageMaker Studio to develop an ML model. The company has a single SageMaker Studio domain. An ML engineer needs to implement a solution that provides an automated alert when SageMaker compute costs reach a specific threshold.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Add resource tagging by editing the SageMaker user profile in the SageMaker domain. Configure AWS Cost Explorer to send an alert when the threshold is reached.
• B. Add resource tagging by editing the SageMaker user profile in the SageMaker domain. Configure AWS Budgets to send an alert when the threshold is reached.
• C. Add resource tagging by editing each user's IAM profile. Configure AWS Cost Explorer to send an alert when the threshold is reached.
• D. Add resource tagging by editing each user's IAM profile. Configure AWS Budgets to send an alert when the threshold is reached.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because AWS Budgets allows for the creation of cost thresholds and automated alerts based on resource usage, which is essential for tracking SageMaker compute costs. Options A and C mention AWS Cost Explorer, which does not provide alerting capabilities for budget thresholds. Options C and D incorrectly suggest editing IAM profiles instead of the SageMaker user profile for tagging, which is not relevant to this scenario.
