#aws #programming #python #ai

Amazon Bedrock makes it incredibly easy to work with foundation models like Claude without worrying about infrastructure.

In this post, I’ll show you how to invoke a Bedrock model using Python and boto3 in a clean and production-ready way.

🧰 Requirements

Python 3.9+
AWS account with Bedrock enabled
AWS credentials configured (CLI, env vars, or IAM role)

📦 Install boto3
pip install boto3

🧠 Python example: Claude on Amazon Bedrock

import boto3
import json

client = boto3.client(
    "bedrock-runtime",
    region_name="us-east-1"
)

payload = {
    "prompt": "Human: Explain what Amazon Bedrock is in simple terms.\nAssistant:",
    "max_tokens_to_sample": 200
}

response = client.invoke_model(
    modelId="anthropic.claude-v2",
    body=json.dumps(payload)
)

result = response["body"].read().decode("utf-8")
print(result)
