The system experiences performance degradation, increased costs, and occasional bias in recommendations. The ML team must optimize the entire solution while ensuring fairness, security, and cost efficiency.

The current architecture uses SageMaker endpoints on large GPU instances, processes data daily with AWS Glue, stores features in S3, and lacks comprehensive monitoring. Question:Which combination of actions addresses all maintenance and optimization requirements? Options:A: Migrate to Lambda, use EC2 for training, disable loggingB: Use only CPU instances, manual scaling, quarterly auditsC: Continue current setup without changesD: Implement SageMaker Model Monitor and Clarify for drift and bias detection, use Inference Recommender to optimize instance types, enable multi-model endpoints to reduce costs, configure CloudWatch alarms for performance metrics, implement VPC isolation with least-privilege IAM roles, enable CloudTrail and Config for audit compliance, use Cost Explorer with tagging for cost allocation, establish A/B testing for model variantsAnswer: DExplanation:A: Lambda is unsuitable for large inference workloads due to execution time and memory limits.

EC2 requires manual management, and disabling logging removes visibility and compliance tracking. B: CPU-only setups may underperform for deep learning models, and manual scaling increases operational overhead. Quarterly audits are too infrequent for proactive compliance.

C: The current system already shows inefficiencies and lacks monitoring, so maintaining the status quo won’t resolve issues. D: This end-to-end optimization covers all areas: Model Monitor and Clarify ensure bias and drift detection; Inference Recommender optimizes instance types; multi-model endpoints reduce cost; CloudWatch enhances observability; VPC and IAM strengthen security; CloudTrail and Config provide compliance tracking; Cost Explorer supports cost allocation; A/B testing validates performance improvements.
