Amazon Bedrock has formalized a model lifecycle management framework with three states: Active, Legacy, and End-of-Life. Models transition through these states with at least 6 months' advance notice before EOL, and new models with EOL dates after February 1, 2026 include an extended access period allowing continued use for at least 3 additional months after the Legacy phase. The framework lets developers test new model versions before migration and provides tools to manage transitions without disrupting production applications.
