AWS Bedrock

AWS Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides access to foundation models from Amazon and third-party providers through a unified API. It enables building generative AI applications within the AWS ecosystem with enterprise security and scalability.

Available models include: Amazon Titan (text, embeddings, image), Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama, Cohere, Stability AI, and others. Bedrock also offers: Knowledge Bases for RAG, Agents for autonomous workflows, Guardrails for safety, and fine-tuning capabilities. Everything integrates with AWS IAM, CloudWatch, and other AWS services.

Bedrock appeals to organizations already invested in AWS infrastructure. Benefits include: single API for multiple model providers, enterprise compliance, integration with existing AWS workloads, and managed scaling. Engineers should evaluate: model selection, pricing compared to direct API access, and whether AWS integration outweighs potential vendor lock-in.
