Run an AWS Generative-AI Well-Architected Review
A live, end-to-end walkthrough of an AWS Well-Architected Review for a GenAI app. You’ll learn how to apply the AWS Generative AI Lens across the six pillars, then add Bedrock Guardrails and Knowledge Bases (RAG) to raise reliability, safety, and accuracy. You’ll leave with a reusable checklist and a prioritized remediation plan.
Who it’s for & why
- Cloud architects, AI/ML engineers, SRE/Platform teams, and security leads
- Moving from PoCs → production with need for a repeatable WA review process
What you’ll learn
- How to apply Generative AI Lens questions per pillar
- Spot hot spots: data flow, prompts, vector DBs, GPU scaling
- Map risks → fixes with Guardrails + RAG patterns
What you’ll take away
- WA Review scorecard & template
- Pillar-by-pillar remediation backlog
- Sample Guardrail policies (safety, PII, toxic output)
- RAG/Knowledge Base reference architecture
About Rohit Bhardwaj
Rohit Bhardwaj is a Director of AI & Data Architecture at Salesforce, where he focuses on enterprise AI, agentic systems, cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, data platforms, security, and large-scale transformation.
Over his career, Rohit has designed and led complex enterprise platforms across AWS, Google Cloud, microservices, real-time data, API ecosystems, resilient distributed systems, and AI-enabled architectures. His work increasingly focuses on the challenges enterprises face as software evolves from deterministic services to AI-native and agentic systems—particularly around reliability, governance, evidence, security, observability, cost, and safe autonomy.
Rohit is the author of System Design with AI Interview Guide: Designing Scalable, Agentic, and Defensible Systems, published by Apress. The book presents a modern approach to system design covering scalability, distributed systems, AI architecture primitives, security, reliability, economics, agentic systems, and real-world architectures including e-commerce, ride sharing, payments, fraud detection, messaging, video streaming, file storage, and search.
