4.2Monitoring and Retraining

Key points

Protect in production—understand Model Monitor, data drift, CloudWatch (latency/errors/invocations), and drift-triggered retraining. Models degrade over time.

Deployment is not the end. Real-world data changes and models gradually degrade (drift). Monitor and retrain when needed.

4.2.1From monitoring to drift response

Diagram of monitoring a deployed model: from an endpoint (live predictions, data capture) to Model Monitor (detects data drift and quality/bias drift by comparing baseline vs live) and CloudWatch (alarms on latency, errors, invocation count); on drift detection, alert → retrain (retraining pipeline) → redeploy; models degrade as real-world data shifts, so watch for drift.
Monitoring a deployed model
  • SageMaker Model Monitor: detects data drift and model quality/bias drift by comparing against a baseline.
  • CloudWatch: monitor operational metrics like latency, error rate, invocation count and alarm.
  • Data capture: store endpoint inputs/outputs for drift analysis and retraining data.
  • Retraining: on drift, run a pipeline to retrain on fresh data and redeploy.
Exam point

Common on MLS-C01: input distribution shifts from training = data drift → detect with Model Monitor, latency/errors/invocations = CloudWatch, and drift detected → retrain → redeploy. If accuracy drops due to "data changing," the answer is drift.
