CreateCollection
Creates a collection in an AWS Region. You can add faces to the collection using the IndexFaces operation.
For example, you might create collections, one for each of your application users. A
user can then index faces using the IndexFaces
operation and persist results in a
specific collection. Then, a user can search the collection for faces in the user-specific
container.
When you create a collection, it is associated with the latest version of the face model version.
Note
Collection names are case-sensitive.
This operation requires permissions to perform the
rekognition:CreateCollection
action. If you want to tag your collection, you
also require permission to perform the rekognition:TagResource
operation.
