Amazon S3 Vectors is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West). Amazon S3 Vectors is purpose-built vector storage for AI agents, inference, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and semantic search at billion-vector scale. S3 Vectors is designed to provide the same elasticity, durability, and availability as Amazon S3, with a dedicated set of APIs that let you store, access, and query vectors without provisioning any infrastructure.
