Advanced integration and flexible architecture drive efficient business solutions
I have to gain more maturity to provide some improvements to Amazon Bedrock. I have a lot to do with the environment they already provided. For example, they are able to connect to any LLM solution such as Llama, Meta, Gemini, or ChatGPT. It is open; you just choose your favorite LLM solution, and you can integrate it into Amazon Bedrock. We have a lot of possibilities to do this integration at this moment; we just need to work on it, create more maturity, and then we can provide some enhancements that we can see on the solution as a whole. For companies in general, the main pain point or main issue related to Amazon Bedrock is security because they are not confident that all information is hidden by this kind of architecture. They wonder if they are providing some company information that can run away, and I think that is the challenge we have now. We need to find ways to work on it and make our clients' data secure. They are looking for that to guarantee that this is a great solution for companies that is also secure.

Reasonably priced and offers high availability features
The synchronization between two tools, meaning if I have another server outside Google Cloud, as far as I know, I cannot mimic the server in Google Cloud to another server outside Google Cloud. I don't know if Google has the above-mentioned features or not, and if it does have them, then maybe Google can help us set things right and how to make a server mimic either of the servers outside Google. With the hot swap features or if Google Cloud itself is down, we can replace the services with another server. Right now, I have another server outside Google as a backup of a production server. There should be synchronization between servers inside Google and those outside it. The high availability features in Google are only available in Google Compute Engine in different regions. If I have another server outside Google, the high availability features in Google cannot synchronize with such a server.
