Amazon Web Services (Amazon Bedrock)

Overview

Amazon Bedrock is AWS’s fully managed foundation model-as-a-service platform that provides secure, enterprise-grade access to a broad catalog of LLMs and generative models through a unified API. Bedrock exposes both Amazon’s own Nova family of models and models from external providers such as Anthropic, Mistral, Meta, Cohere, DeepSeek, and others, allowing customers to select the best foundation model for each workload while using common authentication, monitoring, and governance capabilities. The service is designed to offload infrastructure management, so enterprises can build and scale generative AI applications without operating training or complex serving stacks. Beyond simple access, Amazon Bedrock integrates with other AWS services to support fine-tuning, agent orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation, and multi-modal scenarios. Organizations can create custom versions of models using proprietary data, host them on managed inference endpoints, and apply enterprise controls such as encryption, network isolation, and audit logging. This positions AWS as a central MaaS provider in the foundation model ecosystem, providing multi-tenant hosting, model routing, and a large catalog of LLMs, vision models, and other generative AI systems under a single enterprise umbrella.
