• IAM, KMS, CloudWatch, VPC endpoints

4. Model Customization

• Enable model customization workflows:
• Data preparation & labeling
• Safety filtering
• Fine-tuning / adapter-based methods
• Build pipelines for:
• Model versioning
• Updates & rollback
• Reduce hallucinations using:
• Grounding strategies
• Defined acceptance criteria

5. Engineering Excellence & Security

• Build secure, multi-tenant systems:
• Data isolation
• Least privilege access
• Secrets management
• Implement observability:
• Prompt-response tracing (with redaction)
• Quality metrics
• Drift monitoring
• Document:
• Architecture
• Prompt strategies
• Runbooks
• Mentor junior team members
