Exam Tips for Domain 4

💡

Model Monitor needs a baseline before it can compare production traffic against expected behavior.

💡

CloudWatch tells you about infrastructure and endpoint health; model quality metrics tell you whether predictions are still useful.

💡

Use KMS and IAM together: encryption protects data, policies control who can use the data and keys.

💡

When data drift is confirmed, the next action is often retraining or reviewing the data pipeline.
