On AWS: three variants in one cloud
Amazon Web Services hosts the AI model. Next to it, the AI gateway runs in one of three variants: self-managed on virtual machines, with managed services, or as Software as a Service.
Architecture at a glance
High-level view: the office building and Amazon Web Services, in three variants. They differ in who operates which component.
Who operates what
| Component | 1 · Self-managed (IaaS) | 2 · Managed services | 3 · Software as a Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI model | Amazon Bedrock | Amazon Bedrock | Amazon Bedrock |
| Orchestrator and agents | Self-managed | AgentCore, managed by AWS | Amazon Quick, managed by AWS |
| AI gateway with pseudonymisation | Self-managed | Self-managed | Checkpoints of AWS |
| MCP gateway | Self-managed | Managed by AWS | Checkpoints of AWS |
Self-managed: under the control of the client, operated by the client or by Ingenious NetworksManaged by AWS
Key facts
1 · Self-managed on virtual machines (IaaS)
The same software as on-premise, on virtual machines in Frankfurt, with a second entry point in Paris. Checkpoints, audit logs and connectors remain under the control of the client. The virtual machines are billed per month, the AI model by usage.
2 · Managed services: Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
AWS operates the MCP gateway, the agent runtime and the agent identity; fewer virtual machines are operated. The AI gateway with pseudonymisation remains self-managed. Available in the AWS region Frankfurt.
3 · Software as a Service: Amazon Quick
The managed AI service of AWS, licensed per user and month. It runs in Frankfurt on Amazon Bedrock and keeps the processing in the EU; custom connectors can be added. The checkpoints are operated by AWS.
Variant 1, self-managed, is aligned with the guidance of the BSI. In variants 2 and 3, AWS operates one of the two checkpoints; the cloud service Amazon Bedrock holds an attestation of type 2 against the C5 catalogue of the BSI (How it is secured). The on-premise deployment model uses AWS as well: there, only the AI model runs on Amazon Bedrock (On-premise).
The use cases, and the other deployment models
The functions of the AI gateway are identical in every deployment model.
