Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base simplifies enterprise AI data integration
AWS announced Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, a new capability for building enterprise-grade generative AI applications using proprietary data. It simplifies the complex process of connecting to disparate data sources, optimizing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) accuracy, and managing scalable infrastructure. This managed primitive abstracts away RAG pipeline components, allowing developers to focus on outcomes. It offers native data connectors, automatic parsing strategies, and an "Agentic Retriever" for complex queries, aiming to accelerate development and improve AI application accuracy. It's available now in the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Bedrock consoles.

- Introducing Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base
A new managed capability that abstracts the complexity of building and managing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines for enterprise AI applications. It addresses challenges in connecting to diverse data sources, optimizing RAG accuracy through automatic parsing and model selection, and managing infrastructure at scale.
- Native data connectors simplify data ingestion
Includes six pre-built ingestion connectors for Amazon S3, SharePoint, Confluence, Web Crawler, Google Drive, and OneDrive, natively pulling enterprise data and permissions. This eliminates the overhead of managing application-specific requirements for data integration.
- Smart Parsing optimizes retrieval accuracy
Automatically selects the right parsing strategy for different content types and sources, including connector-specific data models, multimodal processing, and optimized chunking. This ensures higher accuracy for AI agent responses without manual configuration.
- Agentic Retriever handles complex, multi-step queries
Optimized for complex queries requiring reasoning and recursive retrieval across single or multiple knowledge bases. It automatically infers user intent and creates a step-by-step query plan to gather relevant context from distributed data.
Notes (2) ›
- Seamless integration and simplified deployment
Managed Knowledge Base integrates seamlessly with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway as a native target type, reducing integration to a few lines of code. It also provides auto-generated role-based permissions and observability metrics.
- Easy to get started
Creating a Managed Knowledge Base is straightforward via the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore or Bedrock console. Users can select connectors from a dropdown, and optimized defaults for embeddings, re-rankers, and foundation models are presented for quick setup.
