Getting Started with Amazon Bedrock

Enterprise AI Development

Amazon Bedrock is revolutionizing enterprise AI development by providing unified access to leading foundation models (FMs) through a managed service. Its ability to integrate models from various providers, including Amazon, Anthropic, Meta and more, sets it apart.

The key value for enterprises lies in its security and customization capabilities. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and private endpoints and IAM integration ensure enterprise-grade security. Companies can use their data to fine-tune models and integrate them with existing knowledge bases.

The development process is streamlined through comprehensive Python, Java, and other languages SDKs. A web-based playground enables quick experimentation, while built-in monitoring and evaluation tools help track performance.

Core Capabilities

Model Access

• Diverse Model Selection: Anthropic, AI21 Labs, Cohere, Meta, Stability AI, and Amazon
• Unified API: Single interface for all models, simplifying integration
• Pay-as-you-go: Usage-based pricing without upfront commitments

Enterprise Features

• Security: Private endpoints, encryption at rest (KMS)/transit (TLS 1.2), and IAM integration
• Model Customization: Fine-tuning capabilities with custom data (private copy)
• Knowledge Bases: Integration with enterprise data sources, automatic vector store based on customer data (OpenSearch Serverless by default), Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Agents: Build custom AI agents for specific business processes

Development Tools

• SDKs: Support for Python, Rust, JavaScript, and other languages
• Playground: Web interface for model experimentation
• Monitoring: Built-in metrics and logging (disabled by default)
• Model Evaluation: Tools for comparing model performance
