Description

The Amazon Bedrock service includes a runtime that allows you to interact with the Amazon Nova models using APIs. The runtime is designed to be used with AWS Lambda functions, and it abstracts the complexity of invoking models, allowing you to focus on the model's input and output.

In this lab, you will deploy two AWS Lambda functions using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) templates. Both functions will use the Amazon Bedrock runtime to interact with the Amazon Nova models. The first function will generate a text response using the Amazon Nova Micro Model, and the second function will generate an image response using the Amazon Nova Canvas model.
