Very good security features for strengthened data protection
I am not going to speak to their roadmap. Amazon operates Bedrock as an ecosystem supporting third-party models. I am speculating here, but I am sure those third-party models will always be present. However, one must consider that Amazon native models could proliferate Bedrock in the future. We would welcome Amazon native models to Bedrock, since, if they are natively built by Amazon, they are tuned to SageMaker and other Amazon service layers. They have done this somewhat for generative AI, however, in AgenTek AI business, the only foundation models we can rely on for scaling now are the Cloud 3.5 models like Haiku and SONNET, designed for low latency and complex AI business use cases.

Versatile, well-built, and powerful
The initial setup of the DGX server was quite straightforward. We treated it like any other server during deployment. It went to the data center, where they set it up, placed it in the rack, and enabled it. The deployment process was familiar, using our standard tools like Foreman and Ansible. Since the operating system is supported, we didn't encounter any specific challenges. For deploying the DGX server, we typically need two people for software tasks and sometimes vendor assistance for hardware setup. The process takes about four hours, with NVIDIA firmware updates taking the most time (around two hours), and the rest dedicated to OS and Ansible deployment. Maintaining the DGX server is pretty straightforward. We treat it like any other server, with around 10% downtime, while the rest of the cluster remains up.

Pros

"Data encryption while in transit and at rest is managed through Bedrock account."
"Bedrock offers various foundational models in one place."
"The most valuable feature of Bedrock is its security and the model's ability to modify vector dimensions easily."
"Amazon Bedrock is easy to use and practical, allowing for quick development."
"The integration with pre-trained AI models has been very beneficial, allowing me to quickly access powerful machine learning models without the need to build them from scratch."
"Bedrock proved beneficial for generating SQL queries, which helped in delivering precise information from the database."
"The valuable feature of Bedrock is its flexibility and comprehensiveness in what it's offering, providing parameters that we can change."
"It is the best solution in this category and is rated a nine out of ten."

Cons

"There is a need for improved documentation, smoother integration, and possibly reduced prices given the competition."
"It would be beneficial if Amazon Bedrock could provide multiple responses to a query, allowing users to choose the best option."
"The user interface of Amazon Bedrock on the management console needs improvements. It's very bland at the moment."
"I would appreciate a greater focus on agentic Gen AI applications in Bedrock."
"One area for improvement is in cost—it tends to be a bit on the higher side, especially for enterprise versions."
"The user interface of Amazon Bedrock on the management console needs improvements."
"Amazon native models could proliferate Bedrock in the future. We would welcome Amazon native models to Bedrock since, if they are natively built by Amazon, they are tuned to SageMaker and other Amazon service layers."
"Amazon Bedrock is quite highly scalable, but there are some limitations they impose on the accounts, which could be an area for improvement."
"One thing that could be better in DGX Systems is their power consumption."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of using Amazon Bedrock is quite high, as I incurred unexpected charges amounting to $130 USD within two weeks without actually deploying the model."
"One customer paid around $100 to $200 per month, which was significant given their overall infrastructure costs."
