In Week 2, weāll shift our focus to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), safety mechanisms, and agent-based orchestration in Amazon Bedrock. Youāll begin by understanding the architecture and principles behind RAG and how it enhances large language model (LLM) outputs with external knowledge sources. This week also introduces you to Amazon Bedrock Guardrailsāa powerful toolset for implementing content safety, privacy filters, and responsible AI controls. Youāll explore how to create and apply Guardrails through practical demos. Finally, youāll get hands-on with Bedrock Agents, learning how to configure them to automate workflows, enhance interactivity, and support dynamic, multi-step tasks. By the end of this module, youāll be equipped to build secure, reliable, and intelligent generative AI applications using Amazon Bedrockās advanced capabilities.
