Amazon Bedrock is AWS's managed foundation model platform. You call models through a unified API without managing GPU fleets, model serving containers, or patching infrastructure.
Model choice: Access models from AWS, Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, Cohere, and others (availability depends on region and account access).
Serverless runtime: You invoke models by API and pay for usage rather than running long-lived inference clusters.
AWS-native controls: Identity, logging, encryption, and network boundaries align with the rest of your AWS platform.
Key idea: Bedrock is not just text generation. It is a full platform for inference, safety controls, retrieval, agents, evaluations, and production governance.
