AWS Certified Generative AI Developer Professional AIP-C01: Study Reference

I put this together while preparing for AIP-C01. Daily work with Bedrock, Agents, and Knowledge Bases kept the prep short.

This is a concept-level study reference: service distinctions, decision trees, and common gotchas drawn from the official exam guide and AWS documentation. It contains no exam questions and no reproduced exam content.
