Managed AI Platforms
Also written as Amazon Bedrock, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, SageMaker
The cloud providers' own services for using and hosting AI models: Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker on AWS, Vertex AI on Google Cloud, and Azure OpenAI / AI Foundry on Microsoft. Enterprises often use these instead of calling model companies directly, for billing, data privacy and compliance.
Think of it like
Buying from a supermarket's in-house counter rather than going to each producer, because your company already has an account there.
Junior or senior?
Usually the enterprise route to the same models, so the skills overlap with direct API use.
Senior sounds like
Can talk about why the company chose it (data residency, security review, existing contract) and its limits compared with the direct API.
Ask them
“Why did your company use the cloud provider's AI service instead of calling the model provider directly?”
