# Amazon Bedrock Runtime examples using SDK for Kotlin
The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS SDK for Kotlin with Amazon Bedrock Runtime.
Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.
