Description

Creates an Amazon Kendra index. Index creation is an asynchronous API. To determine if index creation has completed, check the Status field returned from a call to DescribeIndex. The Status field is set to ACTIVE when the index is ready to use. Once the index is active, you can index your documents using the BatchPutDocument API or using one of the supported data sources. For an example of creating an index and data source using the Python SDK, see Getting started with Python SDK. For an example of creating an index and data source using the Java SDK, see Getting started with Java SDK.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonKendraConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.KNDR.AmazonKendraClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientToken <String>
A token that you provide to identify the request to create an index. Multiple calls to the CreateIndex API with the same client token will create only one index.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Description <String>
A description for the index.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Edition <IndexEdition>
The Amazon Kendra edition to use for the index. Choose DEVELOPER_EDITION for indexes intended for development, testing, or proof of concept. Use ENTERPRISE_EDITION for production. Use GEN_AI_ENTERPRISE_EDITION for creating generative AI applications. Once you set the edition for an index, it can't be changed. The Edition parameter is optional. If you don't supply a value, the default is ENTERPRISE_EDITION.For more information on quota limits for Gen AI Enterprise Edition, Enterprise Edition, and Developer Edition indices, see Quotas.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Name <String>
A name for the index.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-RoleArn <String>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role with permission to access your Amazon CloudWatch logs and metrics. For more information, see IAM access roles for Amazon Kendra.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'Id'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.Kendra.Model.CreateIndexResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.Kendra.Model.CreateIndexResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ServerSideEncryptionConfiguration_KmsKeyId <String>
The identifier of the KMS key. Amazon Kendra doesn't support asymmetric keys.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Tag <Tag[]>
A list of key-value pairs that identify or categorize the index. You can also use tags to help control access to the index. Tag keys and values can consist of Unicode letters, digits, white space, and any of the following symbols: _ . : / = + - @. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesTags
-UserContextPolicy <UserContextPolicy>
The user context policy.If you're using an Amazon Kendra Gen AI Enterprise Edition index, you can only use ATTRIBUTE_FILTER to filter search results by user context. If you're using an Amazon Kendra Gen AI Enterprise Edition index and you try to use USER_TOKEN to configure user context policy, Amazon Kendra returns a ValidationException error.
ATTRIBUTE_FILTER
All indexed content is searchable and displayable for all users. If you want to filter search results on user context, you can use the attribute filters of _user_id and _group_ids or you can provide user and group information in UserContext.
USER_TOKEN
Enables token-based user access control to filter search results on user context. All documents with no access control and all documents accessible to the user will be searchable and displayable.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-UserGroupResolutionConfiguration_UserGroupResolutionMode <UserGroupResolutionMode>
The identity store provider (mode) you want to use to get users and groups. IAM Identity Center is currently the only available mode. Your users and groups must exist in an IAM Identity Center identity source in order to use this mode.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-UserTokenConfiguration <UserTokenConfiguration[]>
The user token configuration.If you're using an Amazon Kendra Gen AI Enterprise Edition index and you try to use UserTokenConfigurations to configure user context policy, Amazon Kendra returns a ValidationException error. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False

Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>

If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
