Amazon Nova Canvas

Build against the native Amazon Bedrock InvokeModel API. Treat every inference as a paid, synchronous image-generation operation and preserve the returned bytes unchanged.

Start with the lifecycle gate

As verified on 2026-07-09, AWS lists amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0 as Legacy in its supported Regions and gives it an end-of-life date of 2026-09-30. Do not start a new production dependency on it. New customers cannot use Legacy models; existing customers may lose access after 15 days of inactivity. On or soon after EOL, requests fail unless the customer has a documented private arrangement with the provider. Stakeholder acceptance does not extend service availability.

AWS also forbids new fine-tuning jobs and new Provisioned Throughput endpoints after a foundation model enters Legacy. Public extended access, when offered, may carry higher provider-set pricing. Before any continued use by an eligible existing customer:

1. Query GetFoundationModel or ListFoundationModels in the intended Region.
2. Confirm the account is still eligible and active, verify the current billing rate, and make a separately authorized low-cost canary only before EOL or under a documented private arrangement when paid inference is allowed.
3. Recheck the Nova Canvas model page for lifecycle, endpoint, Region, and successor information.
4. Refuse to guess a replacement model ID. Record a named migration owner and cutover date.
