About the Exam

This exam is for data scientists and AI engineers who set up machine learning operations and generative AI operations solutions on Azure. It covers training, deploying, monitoring, and optimizing traditional machine learning models with Azure Machine Learning, along with deploying and evaluating generative AI applications and agents with Microsoft Foundry. Passing demonstrates that you can design and operate scalable AI solutions using Azure infrastructure, GitHub Actions, Bicep, and Azure CLI.

QuestionQ1

Implement machine learning model lifecycle and operations

HOTSPOT -

You manage an Azure Machine Learning workspace named workspace1 by using the Python SDK v2. You create a General Purpose v2 Azure storage account named mlstorage1. The storage account includes a publicly accessible container named mlcontainer1. The container stores 10 blobs with files in the CSV format.

You must develop Python SDK v2 code to create a data asset referencing all blobs in the container named mlcontainer1.

You need to complete the Python SDK v2 code. How should you complete the code?

QuestionQ2

Implement generative AI quality assurance and observability

A team is validating a generative AI assistant for an organization. The assistant generates responses using internal knowledge sources.

The organization requires assurance that responses are accurate, source-supported, and relevant to user prompts before production access is enabled.

You need to implement quality metrics that verify the assistant produces dependable and meaningful responses.

Which two evaluation metrics should you use? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Choose two
  • A Groundedness
  • B Relevance
  • C Harmfulness
  • D Tone
  • E Fairness
Explanation

Groundedness evaluates whether generated content is supported by the supplied knowledge sources, helping verify factual, source-backed responses. Relevance evaluates whether the response addresses the user’s prompt. Together, these metrics measure the required source support and prompt alignment.

QuestionQ3

Design and implement a GenAIOps infrastructure

An organization uses Microsoft Foundry to develop generative AI projects that access shared Azure resources, including storage accounts and vector databases.

The organization’s security policy requires eliminating secret key-based authentication and enforcing least-privilege access. Configure identity and access so that:

  • Services authenticate without stored credentials.
  • Permissions are appropriately scoped across projects and shared resources.

Configure the appropriate identity or access mechanism for each requirement. Each configuration mechanism may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Drag & Drop
API key
Managed identity
Role-based access control (RBAC) role assignment
Service principal
Allow Microsoft Foundry workloads to access Azure resources with key-less authentication.
Control which users can manage projects and deployments.
Explanation

A managed identity lets a Foundry workload authenticate to Azure services through Microsoft Entra ID without storing API keys or other credentials. Azure RBAC role assignments define the permissions granted to users, managed identities, or other principals and can be scoped to a project, Foundry resource, resource group, or subscription to enforce least privilege for project and deployment management.

QuestionQ4

Implement machine learning model lifecycle and operations

A team is experimenting with traditional models for a classification workflow in Azure Machine Learning.

The team needs a consistent method to manage assets created during experimentation.

You need to ensure that artifacts can be reused and governed across projects.

Which asset should you register?

  • A Model
  • B Component
  • C Environment
  • D Pipeline
Explanation

A registered model stores and versions the trained classification artifact as an Azure Machine Learning asset. Models can be centrally organized, tracked, governed, and shared through an Azure Machine Learning registry across workspaces and projects.

QuestionQ5

Optimize generative AI systems and model performance

A Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solution produces incomplete answers because relevant content is retrieved inconsistently from the knowledge source.

You need to increase RAG accuracy without changing the embedding model that is currently used. You must meet this goal while minimizing operational costs.

Which two actions should you take? Each correct answer represents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Choose two
  • A Tune chunk size and overlap to match content structure.
  • B Implement an optimized re-ranker.
  • C Increase token limits for all requests.
  • D Optimize the length of embedding vectors.
Explanation

Chunking content at an appropriate size with overlap preserves semantic context across chunk boundaries and improves the likelihood that relevant passages are retrieved. A reranker performs a second relevance evaluation of retrieved candidates against the query, improving the ordering and selection of context provided to the RAG model. Microsoft Learn recommends tuning chunk size and overlap for vector-search relevance and describes reranking as a way to evaluate candidate documents that initial vector or keyword searches might otherwise rank inaccurately.
