AIF-C01 Fundamentals of Generative AI Practice Question
Which AWS service provides a serverless experience for building and scaling generative AI applications with access to various foundation models?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse Amazon SageMaker's broad ML capabilities with the specific serverless, foundation-model-focused offering of Amazon Bedrock, or mistakenly think AWS Lambda alone provides generative AI model access when it is merely a compute trigger.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon Bedrock
Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides a serverless experience for building and scaling generative AI applications.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Amazon Bedrock
Why this is correct
Bedrock provides a serverless experience with pre-trained foundation models from leading AI companies.
- ✗
Amazon SageMaker
Why it's wrong here
SageMaker is a platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models, but it requires more manual setup for foundation models.
- ✗
Amazon Lex
Why it's wrong here
Lex is for building conversational chatbots using automatic speech recognition and natural language understanding, not foundation model access.
- ✗
AWS Lambda
Why it's wrong here
Lambda is a compute service for running code, not directly for foundation model inference.
