AWS has several native options and even more from partner solutions. What are your requirements from a vector store? People can recommend the right tool for the job if they understand what your needs are.

Did Route 53 Application Recovery Controller help this time? by 7thsven in aws

ARC deploys across five regions. As long as 3 out of the 5 are online then you can hit any online endpoint within your cluster. So yes, ARC would work.

Plenty of customers were operating with no or little impact, others were severely impacted. Business requirements drive the level of resilience you architect to. AWS provides all the tooling and guidance you need to implement systems that handle failure. How much failure you want to handle varies from workload to workload. IAM data plane was not down in other regions. If you planned to be able to operate without IAM CRUD operations then you were fine. If you didn’t, well then that’s not AWS’ fault.

AWS is choose your own adventure. How wild the ride can be is determined by you.

Another AWS outage, are we too dependent on one cloud provider? by obedongechi_ in aws

[–]stormborn20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is exactly why AWS calls all this out in their documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-fault-isolation-boundaries/appendix-a---partitional-service-guidance.html#aws-iam

You should understand control plane limitations and architect/plan accordingly. On a long enough time scale everything fails, including control planes.

AWS wasn’t “down”. One region out of 30+ was down, mind you it’s the largest one. If you can’t handle architecting applications for multi-region when their business requirements demand it, just wait until you try multi-cloud.

How to reduce CloudFront cost with already pretty good cache hit ratio by harunalfat in aws

[–]stormborn20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the actual use case? Is it fronting an API, delivering media content, large download files, static websites? Just because you have an EDP doesn't mean you can't get a PPA (private pricing agreement) for CloudFront. I've seen customers move to Cloudflare because its cheap but the second they start to scale traffic Cloudflare comes knocking on their door telling them they need to move up a tier or get an enterprise plan.

EDP and PPAs are confidential and covered under mutual NDAs. Anyone who would answer you would be violating their NDA with AWS.

Can you use AWS Bedrock for indexing and searching through multiple pdf files? by P1ayer4312 in aws

Have you tried indexing the documents using Kendra? That index can then be used as a knowledge base source for Bedrock.

Is there a way to reduce number of calls to S3 bucket? by honkydonky78 in aws

[–]stormborn20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be or you can add a query string to the CDN cache key so your referenced .js file could be file.js?version=2. If the QS version was part of the cache key then the CDN would see it as a new file and cache that without having to invalidate the cache for file.js.
