Build observable enterprise agentic retrieval using Managed Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base with AWS CloudFormation
Amazon Web Services Luis Felipe Yepez Barrios ● Covered by 2 sources
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime was used to build an enterprise agentic retrieval system that routes questions to multiple Managed Knowledge Bases, retrieves iteratively, and returns grounded answers with citations. The deployment is done as a single AWS CloudFormation chain with four stacks: 01-knowledge-bases, 02-agentic-gateway, 03-agent-runtime, and 04-dashboards. This changes operations by making the reason-and-act retrieval loop observable via OpenTelemetry spans and evaluated continuously with CloudWatch and X-Ray, rather than being a black box.
Why it matters
This post builds an enterprise agentic retrieval solution on the Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. An agent reasons, routes across multiple knowledge bases, and returns cited answers, with seven layers of observability and both on-demand and continuous evaluation, all deployed with a single AWS CloudFormation chain.
