Generative AI on AWS

Run Amazon Bedrock securely inside your own AWS account

We set up foundation models to work directly on your business documents and applications, using your existing identity system and network boundaries.

Secure model setup

Foundation models working inside your own network boundaries

Amazon Bedrock runs over your existing AWS footprint, bringing large language models to your documents. Requests stay entirely inside your account boundary, relying on your current identity system and leaving a clear log of activity.

  1. 1

    Private network path

    VPC endpoints provide private connectivity, ensuring your API calls to models never cross public internet lines.

  2. 2

    Scoped access roles

    IAM roles are strictly limited to exactly what each application calls, avoiding long-lived credentials in environment files.

  3. 3

    Strict content boundary

    Documents stay safely in your storage, and all inference requests remain fully contained inside your own AWS account boundary.

Amazon Bedrock configured for your kind of business

Amazon Bedrock suits organizations already running on AWS, leveraging your existing network and permissions model. We configure guardrails and scope IAM roles strictly to what each application calls.

Console views of your model environment

AWS provides strong controls for connecting data and limiting responses. We configure native tools to manage your documents, cite sources, mask sensitive data and track your spend.

Typical configurations built for local businesses

Typical configurations include retrieval over S3 buckets, models added directly to existing applications, automated document extraction inside current pipelines, and governed internal endpoints.

Sample request

Checks performed before project handover

Deployments finish after checking model and region availability, matching throughput to your request pattern, testing filters on realistic inputs, and running any replacement on the same evaluation set.

1

Model and region availability

Model choice and region are set against availability, since not every foundation model is enabled in every region or across every AWS account.

2

Throughput matching

On-demand and provisioned throughput behave differently under load. Configurations match exactly to your expected request pattern to manage costs.

3

Input and output filtering

Filters for what the workload should refuse are thoroughly tested against realistic inputs, confirming your guardrails catch denied topics.

4

Replacement model evaluation

Superseded models require careful transitions. Replacements run against the same evaluation set before switching, validating performance despite non-deterministic outputs.

Setting up models in your environment

Work often happens alongside the in-house team that owns the AWS account. Getting IAM role boundaries right takes much longer than simply wiring the model calls.

  1. 1

    Review account structure

    We inspect your existing AWS footprint, examining network boundaries, identity systems and regional availability to plan deployments.

  2. 2

    Enable and fence model access

    We configure your service control policy around Bedrock and deploy VPC interface endpoints so calls avoid public networks.

  3. 3

    Connect content securely

    We link models directly to your data sources, keeping permissions checked first so queries only reach approved S3 buckets.

  4. 4

    Hand over with clear tracking

    We hand over a finished build complete with thorough logging and cost allocation tags tracing spend to specific workloads.

Common questions from operations leads

  • Where does our content stay?

    Content stays entirely in your own storage, and all model requests stay strictly inside your AWS account boundary.

  • Which models can we use?

    Amazon Bedrock offers managed access to models from Anthropic, Meta, Mistral and Amazon through one API. Availability depends on your specific AWS account and region settings.

  • How is spend tracked?

    Spend tracks tokens and requests rather than user seats. Cost Explorer filters down to application inference profiles, so exact costs trace back to the specific workload that caused them.

  • What is the difference between on-demand and provisioned throughput?

    On-demand and provisioned throughput behave differently under load and must match the request pattern. Provisioned throughput is bought at a fixed hourly cost in model units, which a customized model must use.

  • We use Microsoft 365 for staff and AWS for our product, which do you set up?

    Microsoft 365 businesses are typically directed to Microsoft Foundry, while AWS-native workloads use Bedrock. Some clients run both, and our work spans both platforms to match your architecture.

  • What happens when a model is retired or replaced?

    Testing new models against your specific inputs is crucial. Replacements run against the same evaluation set before switching, proving they handle your tasks properly before going live.
