AWS Certified Machine Learning – Specialty — Question 6

When submitting Amazon SageMaker training jobs using one of the built-in algorithms, which common parameters MUST be specified? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. The training channel identifying the location of training data on an Amazon S3 bucket.
• B. The validation channel identifying the location of validation data on an Amazon S3 bucket.
• C. The IAM role that Amazon SageMaker can assume to perform tasks on behalf of the users.
• D. Hyperparameters in a JSON array as documented for the algorithm used.
• E. The Amazon EC2 instance class specifying whether training will be run using CPU or GPU.
• F. The output path specifying where on an Amazon S3 bucket the trained model will persist.

Correct answer: A, C, F

Explanation

The correct answers A, C, and F are mandatory parameters for submitting training jobs in Amazon SageMaker. The training channel (A) is needed to locate the data, the IAM role (C) allows SageMaker to perform actions on behalf of the user, and the output path (F) is where the model will be saved. Options B, D, and E are not essential for job submission; B and D are additional configurations, while E specifies instance type but is not required to initiate the job.
