Produce and review production image-generation and image-editing workflows with Amazon Nova Canvas on Amazon Bedrock, including native InvokeModel payloads, safe authentication, validation, retries, cost controls, provenance, and lifecycle migration checks. Use when a task names Nova Canvas, amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0, Bedrock image generation, Canvas inpainting/outpainting/background removal, image conditioning, color guidance, image variation, virtual try-on, or Canvas fine-tuning.

# 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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-card-amazon-nova-canvas.html) for lifecycle, endpoint, Region, and successor information.
4. Refuse to guess a replacement model ID. Record a named migration owner and cutover date.
