Amazon Bedrock

AI Infrastructure

AWS's fully managed service for accessing foundation models from multiple providers, with agents, guardrails, and knowledge bases built in.

Overview

Bedrock gives AWS customers a single managed service for foundation models from Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, Amazon, and others — plus managed RAG (Knowledge Bases), Agents, and Guardrails. The reason enterprises pick it is rarely the models themselves; it is that everything stays inside the AWS security, IAM, networking, and compliance perimeter they already trust and audit. If your data and workloads live in AWS, Bedrock is the path of least resistance to production AI. The trade-off is AWS lock-in and a feature set that can lag the model providers' own platforms.
