#bedrock managed knowledge base

For many developers, the hard part of building an AI application isn’t the model anymore. It’s keeping the application’s knowledge current. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become a popular technique for grounding AI applications in enterprise data, but it also introduces a steady stream of operational work, including tasks such as updating embeddings and indexes, synchronizing data sources, and tuning retrieval performance. AWS is seeking to remove much of that burden with Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, a new managed service that automates the retrieval layer behind enterprise AI applications. “By default, the service automatically selects and manages a default embeddings model, re-ranker model, and foundational model on your behalf, so you can get up to speed quickly without needing to pick or maintain one yourself,” Daniel Abib, senior solutions architect at AWS, wrote in a blog post.
