Details
Six purpose-built vector services
AWS offers six vector solutions covering databases, object stores, and search engines, giving teams a structured decision model to pick the right fit for their agentic AI or analytics workload.
Data-in-place philosophy
AWS vector capabilities are embedded in existing data stores—no migration or data duplication needed, significantly lowering adoption friction for enterprises already on AWS.
RAG, GraphRAG & knowledge graphs
Solutions support Retrieval Augmented Generation to reduce hallucinations, GraphRAG for multi-step reasoning over knowledge graphs, and hybrid search combining lexical and semantic retrieval.
Vectors as the retrieval layer for agents
AWS frames vector search as the foundation enabling agents to plan and act accurately across multi-step workflows by accessing organizational knowledge at query time.
Multimodal vector search
AWS vector solutions handle text, images, audio, and video in a unified high-dimensional space, supporting multimodal content discovery and search with a single query across data types.

What This Means
AWS's documentation of its six vector solutions reinforces its position as the infrastructure backbone for enterprise agentic AI. By enabling vector capabilities within existing data stores, AWS removes the migration barrier that has most slowed enterprise AI adoption. For organizations already invested in the AWS ecosystem, this provides a clear, low-friction path to production agentic systems. The emphasis on RAG, GraphRAG, and multimodal search reflects where enterprise AI demand is heading in 2026.
