Amazon S3 Vectors is the first cloud object storage with native support for storing and querying vectors. It delivers purpose-built, cost-optimized 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, you can store and query up to two billion vectors per vector index and elastically scale to 10,000 vector indexes per vector bucket without provisioning any infrastructure. Infrequent queries return results in under one second, with frequent queries resulting in latencies as low as 100 milliseconds. S3 Vectors is natively integrated with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases so you can reduce the cost of using large vector datasets for RAG.

With this expansion, S3 Vectors is now available in 31 AWS Regions. For pricing details, visit the S3 pricing page. To learn more, visit the product page and documentation.
