Review question 1

Mlflow & Git

Design and implement an MLOps infrastructure
Not ranked

A team is using MLflow for experiment tracking within Azure Machine Learning. They need to ensure that every model registered in the Production environment has an associated Git commit hash and that the training code used for that model is immutable. How should the integration be configured?

Correct answer
A. Use the Azure Machine Learning SDK to log the active Git commit hash as a run property during training, ensuring the source code is checked into a locked branch before execution.

A is correct. Azure Machine Learning integrates with Git to track the specific commit hash used for a run. By ensuring the code is checked into a locked branch (e.g., via CI/CD gates) and logging the git_commit property during the run, you guarantee immutability and traceability. D allows manual overwrites which breaks the audit trail of code immutability. C relies on manual documentation which is error-prone. B suggests MLflow can track code without Git, but while MLflow has some snapshot capabilities, the standard practice for enterprise governance with AML is leveraging the Git integration to ensure the exact source code state is recorded.

Review question 2

Model Registry & Versioning

Manage the machine learning model lifecycle and operations
Not ranked

You are preparing a machine learning model for production deployment in Azure Machine Learning. Your team has trained three candidate models using different algorithms and hyperparameters. You need to ensure that all models are tracked consistently, including their training parameters, metrics, and data lineage. Which approach best ensures reproducibility and enables rollback to a previous model version if the current production model underperforms?

Correct answer
B. Register all candidate models in the Azure ML model registry with distinct version tags, and store training parameters and metrics as model properties or tags in the registry

Azure ML's model registry provides native version control, metadata tracking, and rollback capabilities essential for production lifecycle management. Registering models with distinct versions enables reproducibility and easy rollback. B directly supports model versioning and lineage tracking as documented in the model management concept guide. A lacks automated tracking and introduces manual error. D uses MLflow locally but bypasses Azure ML's registry versioning and governance. C treats models as code artifacts, which doesn't provide the specialized model metadata, metrics, and deployment integration that the ML registry offers.

Review question 3

Observability & Tracing

Design and implement a GenAIOps infrastructure
Not ranked

You have a production RAG application that uses a custom evaluation metric to measure answer relevance. The metric shows degradation after a model update, but you need to determine whether the issue stems from the retrieval component, the ranking component, or the language model itself. Which observability and tracing approach helps you diagnose the root cause?

Correct answer
B. Use Azure AI Foundry's trace and observability features to capture end-to-end agent execution, including retrieval, ranking, and LLM call details

Trace and observability features in Azure AI Foundry capture the full agent execution path, allowing you to inspect each component (retrieval, ranking, LLM) and identify where degradation occurs. Application Insights sampling provides latency data but lacks component-level detail. MLflow experiments track model versions but not runtime execution traces. Monitor alerts detect infrastructure issues, not application logic failures.
