Syllabus

Getting Started with Amazon Bedrock

Learn the fundamentals of Amazon Bedrock, AWS's fully managed foundation model service. Start with basic setup and authentication, explore available foundation models like Claude and Titan, and master essential API interactions. This chapter covers setting up a development environment, choosing appropriate models for a use case, and implementing proper API request handling, including streaming responses and error management.

Working with Bedrock's Inference APIs

In this chapter, you'll progress through three key lessons. Starting with the basics of text generation and response handling, you'll then advance to sophisticated prompt engineering techniques like few-shot learning and structured outputs. The final lesson covers model parameter optimization, teaching learners to fine-tune settings like temperature and token limits for optimal results. Each lesson builds upon the previous, moving from fundamental API interactions to advanced parameter control for specific use cases.

Building Applications with Amazon Bedrock

In this chapter, you’ll build robust and responsible applications with Amazon Bedrock, moving beyond basic API interactions. Starting with conversational AI, you’ll master state management and context handling to create coherent chat experiences. You’ll then explore advanced prompting techniques, learning how to generate diverse content types while maintaining consistent style and tone. The chapter covers critical production aspects like error handling, rate limiting, and efficient response processing. Finally, you will implement ethical guardrails and safety measures, ensuring your AI applications are both powerful and responsible.
