1. Amazon Bedrock launches Managed Knowledge Base for scalable enterprise search and retrieval

agent-workflows, ai-products - production, open-source, business, release - July 17, 2026

What changed? Connect your data sources, let the service handle parsing, storage, and indexing, and retrieve using the mode that matches your query complexity. Document-level access control, real-time ACL checks, and native observability through Amazon CloudWatch are built in, so your knowledge base is ready for production workloads at launch.
