An organization is deploying a RAG architecture using Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless. The security team requires that all data remain within the VPC. How should the developer configure the integration?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Deploy the Bedrock Knowledge Base using a PrivateLink interface endpoint for Bedrock and a VPC endpoint for OpenSearch Serverless.
To keep traffic within the VPC, developers must configure VPC Endpoints (PrivateLink) for both Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure the Knowledge Base to use an S3 Gateway Endpoint only.
Why it's wrong here
While S3 needs a gateway endpoint, the communication between Bedrock and OpenSearch must also be private.
- ✓
Deploy the Bedrock Knowledge Base using a PrivateLink interface endpoint for Bedrock and a VPC endpoint for OpenSearch Serverless.
Why this is correct
PrivateLink ensures the traffic never traverses the public internet, satisfying security requirements for sensitive data.
- ✗
Use a NAT Gateway to route all traffic to the Bedrock service.
Why it's wrong here
NAT Gateways are used for outbound traffic to the internet, not for secure private communication with AWS services.
- ✗
Use an API Gateway with a WAF to restrict access to the vector store.
Why it's wrong here
API Gateway acts as an entry point but does not provide the private network connectivity required for internal VPC architecture.
