Amazon Bedrock is a managed service that provides access to large language models (LLMs) for building AI applications. As these models evolve over time, it's important to manage the lifecycle to ensure application continuity. The article discusses the three lifecycle states in Bedrock - active, deprecated, and archived. It explains how the new extended access feature allows you to plan migrations to newer models, giving you time to update your applications. The article also provides practical strategies to transition your applications to newer models without disrupting your end-users, such as gradually migrating a subset of traffic or using feature flags.
