AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

Explanation

Amazon Bedrock is the correct choice because:

1. Text generation, translation, and multimodal image generation in one service: Amazon Bedrock provides access to multiple foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies through a single API, including models for text generation, translation, and image generation.

2. Compliance: Amazon Bedrock supports various compliance frameworks and certifications that AWS offers.

3. Built-in guardrails: Amazon Bedrock offers Guardrails feature that helps implement safety controls and content filtering to ensure responsible AI usage.

4. Private VPC connectivity: Amazon Bedrock supports AWS PrivateLink, which enables private connectivity from your VPC to the service without exposing traffic to the public internet.

Why other options are incorrect:

• A. Amazon SageMaker Inference Endpoints: While SageMaker can host models, it doesn't provide a unified service with built-in multimodal capabilities and guardrails out of the box.

• C. Amazon Rekognition + Translate + Lex combo: This would require integrating multiple separate services, not a single unified service with all the required features.

• D. Open-source models deployed on EC2: This would require significant setup and management, lacks built-in guardrails, and doesn't provide the unified service experience with compliance features.
