AWS CloudFormation Amazon Bedrock Overview Create production-ready AI infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation templates for Amazon Bedrock. This skill 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 Use this skill when: Creating Bedrock agents with action groups and function definitions Implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with knowledge bases Configuring data sources (S3, web crawl, custom connectors) Setting up vector store configurations (OpenSearch, Pinecone, pgvector) Creating content moderation guardrails Managing prompt templates and versions Orchestrating AI workflows with Bedrock Flows Configuring inference profiles for multi-model access Setting up application inference profiles for optimized model routing Organizing templates with Parameters, Outputs, Mappings, Conditions Implementing cross-stack references with export/import CloudFormation Template Structure Base Template with Standard Format AWSTemplateFormatVersion : 2010-09-09 Description : Amazon Bedrock agent with knowledge base for RAG Metadata : AWS::CloudFormation::Interface : ParameterGroups : - Label : default : Agent Configuration Parameters : - AgentName - AgentDescription - FoundationModel - Label : default : Knowledge Base Settings Parameters : - KnowledgeBaseName - VectorStoreType - EmbeddingModel - Label : default : Deployment Settings Parameters : - Environment - DeployStage Parameters : AgentName : Type : String Default : my - bedrock - agent Description : Name of the Bedrock agent AgentDescription : Type : String Default : Agent for customer support automation Description : Description of the agent's purpose FoundationModel : Type : String Default : anthropic.claude - v2 : 1 Description : Foundation model for the agent AllowedValues : - anthropic.claude - v2 : 1 - anthropic.claude - v3 : 5 - anthropic.claude - sonnet - 4 - 20250514 - amazon.titan - text - express - v1 - meta.llama3 - 70b - instruct - v1 : 0 KnowledgeBaseName : Type : String Default : my - knowledge - base Description : Name of the knowledge base VectorStoreType : Type : String Default : OPENSEARCH_SERVERLESS Description : Vector store type for knowledge base AllowedValues : - OPENSEARCH_SERVERLESS - PINECONE - PGVECTOR - REDIS EmbeddingModel : Type : String Default : amazon.titan - embed - text - v1 Description : Embedding model for vectorization AllowedValues : - amazon.titan - embed - text - v1 - amazon.titan - embed - text - v2 : 0 - cohere.embed - multilingual - v3 : 0 Environment : Type : String Default : dev AllowedValues : - dev - staging - production Mappings : EnvironmentConfig : dev : AgentVersion : DRAFT IndexCapacity : 1 InferenceUnit : 1 staging : AgentVersion : DRAFT IndexCapacity : 5 InferenceUnit : 2 production : AgentVersion : RELEASE IndexCapacity : 10 InferenceUnit : 5 Conditions : IsProduction : !Equals [ !Ref Environment , production ] UseOpenSearch : !Equals [ !Ref VectorStoreType , OPENSEARCH_SERVERLESS ] Transform : - AWS : : Serverless - 2016-10-31 Resources :
