Using Amazon Nova 2 capabilities

This guide provides task-based recipes and practical examples to help you integrate Nova's capabilities into your applications quickly and effectively. It is designed for developers and engineers who want to:

  • Integrate Nova models into their applications via API

  • Understand preprocessing requirements and optimization strategies

  • Implement multimodal understanding workflows

Each section provides:

  • Key technical information about supported formats, size limits, and token estimation

  • Code examples that demonstrate how to use API with both direct upload and Amazon S3

  • Use cases that show practical applications

  • Limitations to consider when designing your application

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • An AWS account with access to Amazon Bedrock

  • Appropriate IAM permissions for invoking Bedrock models

  • AWS SDK installed (Boto3 for Python examples)

  • Basic familiarity with AWS services, such as Amazon S3 (for large file handling)
