Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base now supports automatic sync scheduling for data source connectors

<p>AWS announces automatic sync scheduling for Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, a fully managed retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) service that handles data ingestion, storage optimization, and advanced retrieval without requiring you to manage vector databases or data pipelines. Previously, keeping your knowledge base current required manually triggering a sync each time your source data changed or building a custom solution. Now, you can configure daily, weekly, or monthly sync schedules for all native data source connectors, so your AI agents always retrieve the most up-to-date information.<br> With automatic sync scheduling, you can match your sync frequency to how often your source content changes. For example, set a daily sync for a rapidly evolving customer support knowledge base in Confluence, a weekly sync for SharePoint policy documents that update periodically, or a monthly sync for reference materials stored in Amazon S3. This eliminates the need to build and maintain custom scheduling workarounds, reducing operational overhead while ensuring your retrieval-augmented generation applications stay grounded in current enterprise data.<br> To learn more, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/kb-managed-sync.html#kb-managed-sync-schedule">Sync scheduling for data sources</a> in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide.
