aws-cloudformation-bedrock
This CloudFormation skill provides infrastructure-as-code templates for deploying Amazon Bedrock components including agents with action groups, knowledge bases for retrieval-augmented generation, data source connectors, content moderation guardrails, prompt templates, workflow orchestration flows, and inference profiles. Use it when building production-ready generative AI applications on AWS that require declarative infrastructure management, multi-component Bedrock deployments, or infrastructure reproducibility across environments.

# AWS CloudFormation Amazon Bedrock
## Overview
Creates production-ready AI infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation templates for Amazon Bedrock. Covers Bedrock agents, knowledge bases for RAG implementations, data source connectors, guardrails for content moderation, prompt management, workflow orchestration with flows, and inference profiles for optimized model access.
## When to Use
- Creating Bedrock agents with action groups
- Implementing RAG with knowledge bases
- Configuring S3 or web crawl data sources
- Setting up content moderation guardrails
- Managing prompt templates
- Orchestrating AI workflows with Bedrock Flows
- Configuring inference profiles for multi-model access
- Organizing templates with Parameters and cross-stack references

```
### 4. Create Knowledge Base
```yaml
KnowledgeBaseRole:
Type: AWS::IAM::Role
Properties:
AssumeRolePolicyDocument:
Version: "2012-10-17"
Statement:
- Effect: Allow
Principal:
Service: bedrock.amazonaws.com
Action: sts:AssumeRole
KnowledgeBase:
Type: AWS::Bedrock::KnowledgeBase
Properties:
Name: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-kb"
RoleArn: !GetAtt KnowledgeBaseRole.Arn
KnowledgeBaseConfiguration:
Type: VECTOR
VectorKnowledgeBaseConfiguration:
EmbeddingModelArn: !Sub "arn:aws:bedrock:${AWS::Region}::embedding-model/amazon.titan-embed-text-v1"
```
### 5. Create Data Source
```yaml
DataBucket:
Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
S3DataSource:
Type: AWS::Bedrock::DataSource
Properties:
KnowledgeBaseId: !Ref KnowledgeBase
Name: s3-data-source
Type: S3
DataSourceConfiguration:
S3Configuration:
BucketArn: !GetAtt DataBucket.Arn
InclusionPrefixes:
- documents/
```
### 6. Add Guardrail
```yaml
Guardrail:
Type: AWS::Bedrock::Guardrail
Properties:
Name: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-guardrail"
BlockedInputMessaging: "I cannot help with that request."
ContentPolicyConfig:
filtersConfig:
- type: PROFANITY
- type: MISCONDUCT
```
### 7. Create Action Group
```yaml
ActionLambdaFunction:
Type: AWS::Lambda::Function
Properties:
Runtime: python3.12
Handler: index.handler
Role: !GetAtt ActionLambdaRole.Arn
Code:
ZipFile: |
def handler(event, context):
return {"statusCode": 200, "body": "{\"result\": \"success\"}"}
ActionGroup:
Type: AWS::Bedrock::AgentActionGroup
Properties:
ActionGroupName: api-operations
ActionGroupState: ENABLED
AgentId: !GetAtt BedrockAgent.AgentId
ActionGroupExecutor:
Lambda: !Ref ActionLambdaFunction
FunctionSchema:
functionConfigurations:
- function: |
{ "name": "get_inventory", "description": "Get current inventory status", "parameters": { "type": "object", "properties": { "sku": { "type": "string" } }, "required": [] } }
```
### 8. Validate Before Deploy
Always validate the template before deployment:
```bash
aws cloudformation validate-template --template-body file://bedrock-template.yaml
```
### 9. Verify After Deploy
```bash
# Check agent status
aws bedrock-agent get-agent --agent-id $(aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name STACK_NAME --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==`AgentId`].OutputValue' --output text)
# Check knowledge base sync status
aws bedrock-agent list-knowledge-bases --agent-id AGENT_ID
# Test guardrail
aws bedrock-runtime apply_guardrail --guardrail-identifier GUARDRAIL_ID --source SOURCE
```
