Bedrock Agents

Amazon Bedrock Agents are a capability that lets foundation models plan and carry out multi-step tasks by calling tools and APIs through action groups. AIP-C01 covers agentic AI solutions built with Bedrock Agents.

Amazon Bedrock

Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides access to foundation models from multiple providers through a single API.

Foundation model

A foundation model (FM) is a large model pre-trained on broad data that can be adapted to many tasks.

Retrieval Augmented Generation

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique that grounds a model's responses in retrieved external data rather than relying only on its training.

Vector store

A vector store is a database that indexes embeddings so semantically similar content can be retrieved by nearest-neighbor search.

Embedding

An embedding is a numeric vector representation of text or other data that captures semantic meaning.

Knowledge base

A knowledge base in Amazon Bedrock is a managed capability that ingests and indexes your data so foundation models can retrieve it for grounded responses.

Bedrock Agents

Amazon Bedrock Agents are a capability that lets foundation models plan and carry out multi-step tasks by calling tools and APIs through action groups.

Prompt engineering

Prompt engineering is the practice of designing prompts — including instructions, examples, and templates — to steer a model's output.

Bedrock Guardrails

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails are a capability that filters harmful content and enforces denied topics and policies on model inputs and outputs.

Responsible AI

Responsible AI is the practice of building AI systems that are safe, fair, transparent, and privacy-preserving.

Prompt injection

Prompt injection is an attack in which crafted input manipulates a model into ignoring its instructions or leaking data.

Provisioned throughput

Provisioned throughput in Amazon Bedrock reserves dedicated model capacity for predictable, high-volume inference at a fixed rate.

Model evaluation

Model evaluation is the process of measuring a foundation model's output quality using automatic metrics or human review.
