Prerequisites for inference profiles

Prerequisites for inference profiles - Amazon Bedrock

Before you can use an inference profile, check that you've fulfilled the following prerequisites:

  • Your role has access to the inference profile API actions. If your role has the AmazonBedrockFullAccess AWS-managed policy attached, you can skip this step. Otherwise, do the following:

    1. Follow the steps at Creating IAM policies and create the following policy, which allows a role to do inference profile-related actions and run model inference using all foundation models and inference profiles.

      { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "bedrock:InvokeModel*", "bedrock:CreateInferenceProfile" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:bedrock:*::foundation-model/*", "arn:aws:bedrock:*:*:inference-profile/*", "arn:aws:bedrock:*:*:application-inference-profile/*" ] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "bedrock:GetInferenceProfile", "bedrock:ListInferenceProfiles", "bedrock:DeleteInferenceProfile", "bedrock:TagResource", "bedrock:UntagResource", "bedrock:ListTagsForResource" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:bedrock:*:*:inference-profile/*", "arn:aws:bedrock:*:*:application-inference-profile/*" ] } ] }

      (Optional) You can restrict the role's access in the following ways:

      • To restrict the API actions that the role can make, modify the list in the Action field to contain only the API operations that you want to allow access to.

      • To restrict the role's access to specific inference profiles, modify the Resource list to contain only the inference profiles and foundation models that you want to allow access to. System-defined inference profiles begin with inference-profile and application inference profiles begin with application-inference-profile.

        Important

        When you specify an inference profile in the Resource field in the first statement, you must also specify the foundation model in each Region associated with it.

      • To restrict user access such that they can invoke a foundation model only through an inference profile, add a Condition field and use the aws:InferenceProfileArn condition key. Specify the inference profile that you want to filter access on. This condition can be included in a statement that scopes to the foundation-model resources.

      • For example, you can attach the following policy to a role to allow it to invoke the Anthropic Claude 3 Haiku model only through the US Anthropic Claude 3 Haiku inference profile in the account 111122223333 in us-west-2:

        { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "bedrock:InvokeModel*" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:bedrock:us-west-2:111122223333:inference-profile/us.anthropic.claude-3-haiku-20240307-v1:0" ] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "bedrock:InvokeModel*" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1::foundation-model/anthropic.claude-3-haiku-20240307-v1:0" "arn:aws:bedrock:us-west-2::foundation-model/anthropic.claude-3-haiku-20240307-v1:0" ], "Condition": { "StringLike": { "bedrock:InferenceProfileArn": "arn:aws:bedrock:us-west-2:111122223333:inference-profile/us.anthropic.claude-3-haiku-20240307-v1:0" } } } ] }
    2. Follow the steps at Adding and removing IAM identity permissions to attach the policy to a role to grant the role permissions to view and use all the inference profiles.

  • You've requested access to the model defined in the inference profile that you want to use, in the Region from which you want to call the inference profile.
