Rekognition

Amazon Rekognition is a fully managed computer vision service that analyzes images and videos using deep learning models pre-trained by AWS. It handles object and scene detection, facial comparison and search, celebrity recognition, text extraction from images, content moderation, and activity detection in video—no model training or ML expertise required. For the AIF-C01 exam, the key distinction is that Rekognition is a purpose-built vision API, not a model-building platform like Amazon SageMaker, which trains custom models. Pick Rekognition whenever a scenario describes extracting visual insights from images or video without custom training.
