Amazon Bedrock Credential Setup

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up Amazon Bedrock credentials for use with Tailwinds.

It is Amazon recommended best practice to enable a minimum 90 day IAM key rotation.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Log in to your AWS account

   • Login to your AWS account through the AWS Management Console.

2. Navigate to IAM

   • Navigate to the Identity and Access Management (IAM) service.

     
3. Create a new user

   • Select Users from the left-hand navigation.

     
   • Click Create user.

     
   • Give the user a name.

   • Important: Do NOT give it AWS Management Console access.

4. Create and attach a policy

   • Create a policy.

   • Select the Bedrock service.

   • Create a policy, select the bedrock service, and grant it InvokeModel and InvokeModelWithResponseStream allow on any foundation or provisioned model.

     
   • Attach the policy to the user.

     
5. Generate access keys

   • Create the user, then click into the user and navigate to Security credentials.

   • Click Create access key and select the Other Use Case.

   • Download the key and keep it in a safe place (secret store, etc).

6. Set up Bedrock model access

   • Navigate back to the Bedrock service.

     
   • In the left-hand menu navigate to Model access.

     
   • Select Enable specific models.

   • Select the models you want to try (e.g. all Amazon and all Anthropic).

     
   • Enter your business information and submit access request.

   Note: Amazon model access is typically granted immediately and other model provider access is typically granted within minutes, although it's not guaranteed.

7. Add credentials to Tailwinds

   • Add as credential to Bedrock within Tailwinds Credentials page.

     

Congratulations! You've successfully set up Amazon Bedrock credentials for use with Tailwinds.
