A machine learning model trained and deployed on Amazon SageMaker must be governed and monitored through watsonx.governance. What configuration step enables Watson OpenScale to actively monitor this external model?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation and Infographic
Think of it this way: in real-world AI governance, configure an amazon sagemaker external provider connection in watson openscale and create a monitoring subscription for the deployed model is exactly what teams reach for when they need to handle this scenario. Watson OpenScale natively supports external machine learning provider integrations for platforms including Amazon SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, and Microsoft Azure ML. On the exam, remember that this falls squarely under the 3.0 Configure watsonx.governance domain.

Full Explanation
Watson OpenScale natively supports external machine learning provider integrations for platforms including Amazon SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, and Microsoft Azure ML. Configuring an external provider connection allows organizations to apply fairness, quality, and drift monitors to non-IBM hosted models using the same tooling as for WML-hosted models. The correct answer, "Configure an Amazon SageMaker external provider connection in Watson OpenScale and create a monitoring subscription for the deployed model", directly addresses the scenario described because it aligns with the specific governance requirement in question. The incorrect options ("Export the SageMaker model to ONNX format, re-host it in Watson Machine Learning, and then create an OpenScale subscription", "Enable the SageMaker integration plugin in OpenPages General Settings", "Create an AI Factsheet and manually enter the SageMaker model ARN as a custom metadata field to enable monitoring") may seem plausible but do not satisfy the core requirement. Understanding the distinction between these concepts is critical for IBM watsonx.governance implementations and is frequently tested in the 3.0 Configure watsonx.governance section of the certification exam.
