What You'll Learn
This course prepares you for the MLA-C01 certification exam, covering all official exam domains and their approximate weightings:
Domain 1 Data Preparation for Machine Learning (ML) (28%)
- Ingest and store data from AWS sources (S3, EFS, FSx, Kinesis, Kafka, Flink) in formats like Parquet, JSON, CSV, ORC, Avro, RecordIO
- Merge data from multiple sources using AWS Glue, Apache Spark, or SageMaker Data Wrangler
- Transform data and perform feature engineering (scaling, binning, log transform, encoding, tokenization)
- Validate and label data using SageMaker Ground Truth or Amazon Mechanical Turk
- Identify and mitigate bias (class imbalance, difference in proportions of labels) using SageMaker Clarify
- Ensure data integrity, encryption, classification, and compliance (PII/PHI, data residency) before modeling
Domain 2 ML Model Development (26%)
- Choose a modeling approach: compare ML algorithms, SageMaker built-in algorithms, AI services (Rekognition, Transcribe, Bedrock), and foundation models via SageMaker JumpStart
- Train models using SageMaker built-in algorithms, script mode with TensorFlow/PyTorch, and fine-tune pre-trained models
- Tune hyperparameters (random search, Bayesian optimization) via SageMaker Automatic Model Tuning
- Prevent overfitting/underfitting/catastrophic forgetting via regularization, ensembling, stacking, boosting
- Manage model versions and repeatability using SageMaker Model Registry
- Evaluate model performance using metrics (F1, precision, recall, RMSE, ROC/AUC, confusion matrix) and SageMaker Clarify/Model Debugger
Domain 3 Deployment and Orchestration of ML Workflows (22%)
- Select deployment infrastructure and endpoint types (real-time, serverless, asynchronous, batch) based on cost/latency/performance tradeoffs
- Choose deployment targets (SageMaker endpoints, ECS, EKS, Lambda) and containers (built-in vs. BYOC)
- Provision and script infrastructure as code (CloudFormation, AWS CDK) and configure SageMaker endpoint auto scaling
- Optimize edge deployments using SageMaker Neo
- Set up CI/CD pipelines with CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy for ML workflow automation
- Apply deployment/rollback strategies (blue/green, canary, linear) and build automated retraining and testing mechanisms
Domain 4 ML Solution Monitoring, Maintenance, and Security (24%)
- Monitor model inference in production for drift, data quality, and anomalies using SageMaker Model Monitor and Clarify
- Conduct A/B testing and compare shadow vs. production variant performance
- Monitor and optimize infrastructure and cost using CloudWatch, X-Ray, CloudTrail, Cost Explorer, and Trusted Advisor
- Rightsize instances and select purchasing options (Spot, On-Demand, Reserved, SageMaker Savings Plans)
- Secure ML resources via IAM least-privilege policies, roles, and SageMaker Role Manager
- Build VPCs, subnets, and security groups to isolate ML systems and secure CI/CD pipelines
