Improve documentation for enabling Bedrock models

Open johnsonr opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Presently this is difficult to get started with. Also need to document the necessary AWS environment variables.

Configuration is simplified down to just having embabel-agent-starter-bedrock (profile will be set by starter automatically). See PR https://github.com/embabel/embabel-agent/pull/876

Required environmental variables are:

AWS_REGION AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Users are required to have AWS account, be aware of the AWS_REGION, generate AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. There is youtube video: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/getting-started.html

Currently AWS requires users to manually grant access to selected Models available in AWS

Model Access is per AWS_REGION

A few updates:

  • Bedrock Model Access is now automatic so that makes things a lot easier.
  • Spring AI 1.1 will support a Bedrock Bearer Token for auth which makes that part much easier for local development (once Embabel moves to Spring AI 1.1)
