Summary

Updated content including inference definition, management/deployment comparisons, and expanded feature sections highlighting safeguards and infrastructure controls

Security assessment

Added mention of 'safeguards (guardrails)' in Amazon Bedrock features, which references security controls. However, this appears to be general security feature documentation rather than addressing a specific vulnerability.

+**Amazon Bedrock**
+
+  * Amazon Bedrock offers a suite of features to help customers build and scale generative AI applications, including model choice features (evaluation), cost and latency optimization features (prompt caching, intelligent prompt routing), customization features (knowledge bases, model distillation), safeguards (guardrails), and agentic features (agents). Amazon Bedrock also offers custom model import, which allows you to import and use customized models with existing FMs through a single, serverless, unified API.

+**Amazon SageMaker AI**
+
+  * With SageMaker AI, you can store and share your data without having to build and manage your own servers. This gives you more time to collaboratively build and develop your ML workflow, and do it sooner. SageMaker AI provides managed ML algorithms to run efficiently against extremely large data in a distributed environment. With built-in support for bring-your-own-algorithms and frameworks, SageMaker AI offers flexible distributed training options that adjust to your specific workflows. Within a few steps, you can deploy a model into a secure and scalable environment from the SageMaker AI console.
