create-knowledge-base¶

Description¶

Creates a knowledge base. A knowledge base contains your data sources so that Large Language Models (LLMs) can use your data. To create a knowledge base, you must first set up your data sources and configure a supported vector store. For more information, see Set up a knowledge base .

Note

If you prefer to let Amazon Bedrock create and manage a vector store for you in Amazon OpenSearch Service, use the console. For more information, see Create a knowledge base .

Provide the name and an optional description .
Provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) with permissions to create a knowledge base in the roleArn field.
Provide the embedding model to use in the embeddingModelArn field in the knowledgeBaseConfiguration object.
Provide the configuration for your vector store in the storageConfiguration object.
- For an Amazon OpenSearch Service database, use the opensearchServerlessConfiguration object. For more information, see Create a vector store in Amazon OpenSearch Service .
- For an Amazon Aurora database, use the RdsConfiguration object. For more information, see Create a vector store in Amazon Aurora .
- For a Pinecone database, use the pineconeConfiguration object. For more information, see Create a vector store in Pinecone .
- For a Redis Enterprise Cloud database, use the redisEnterpriseCloudConfiguration object. For more information, see Create a vector store in Redis Enterprise Cloud .

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
