In my previous post on my first look at AWS Bedrock Studio I managed to configure all IAM policies and services roles, configured some model access and began to tinker with Studio for both app and prompt flows. I’ve since looked at it a little more. I’m not a fan as yet and think there’s some way to go to make Bedrock Studio more intuitive.
