AIF-01 Generative AI Developer Pro Certification
This study guide by Peter S. Buswell prepares candidates for the AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional (AIP-C01) exam. The text outlines essential technical domains, including Amazon Bedrock inference, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and the implementation of agentic systems. It emphasizes architectural decision-making, highlighting the trade-offs between performance, cost, and security within the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Key sections explain the mechanics of embeddings, chunking strategies, and guardrails to ensure responsible AI deployment. Additionally, the guide provides strategic exam hints and heuristics to help developers distinguish between managed services and custom orchestration. Ultimately, the source serves as a practical roadmap for building scalable and secure generative AI applications using native AWS tools.
