This 60-minute intermediate course teaches you how to configure and deploy Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to build safe, production-ready generative AI applications. You'll learn how to select the right guardrail policies — from content filtering and prompt attack prevention to sensitive information protection — and tune content filter strengths through iterative testing to balance safety with user experience. The course covers practical implementation patterns including the standalone ApplyGuardrail API and native Bedrock inference integration, strategies for handling multi-turn conversations without blocking legitimate requests, and best practices for production deployment using numerical versioning and detect mode. Through knowledge checks and real-world scenarios spanning healthcare chatbots, customer support bots, and financial advisory platforms, you'll gain the skills to deploy guardrails that protect your applications without frustrating your users.
