Definition
In RAG and AI Agent architectures, AWS serves as a managed infrastructure ecosystem providing foundational model hosting (Amazon Bedrock) and vector storage (OpenSearch). The primary architectural trade-off involves rapid deployment and enterprise-grade security within a VPC versus the higher cost and vendor lock-in compared to self-hosted open-source stacks.
Think of AWS as the managed 'Bedrock' model provider and vector search host rather than just generic web servers.
"An industrial-grade construction site where the cranes (LLMs), warehouses (Vector DBs), and power grid (Compute) are pre-connected and managed by a single foreman."
