How do I reuse a knowledge base session in Amazon Bedrock?

Key Takeaways

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Hi, I'm Kashiff, a cloud support engineer here at the AWS office in Sydney. Today I'll show you how to reuse a knowledgebased session in Amazon Bedrock. Let's get started. Amazon Bedrock allows you to create and query knowledge bases that contain your data and documents. When you query a knowledge base, Amazon Bedrock creates a session ID that lasts for 24 hours. You cannot extend the same session ID beyond 24 hours, but you can reuse the same session within the 24 hours window. To reuse the same session, capture the session ID from the initial API response and use the same ID for your request. Let me show you how to do this. First, we'll create a new session. Open the AWS command line interface. We'll use this request syntax to call the retrieve and generate API to create the session. The response contains a session ID value such as this one. Now to reuse this session for subsequent queries within 24 hours, include the same session ID in the next API call. Amazon Bedrock will remember the context from the previous query in the same session. Press Q to quit. Then let's run the same command again without the session ID. As you can see, the session ID is different because Amazon Bedrock automatically creates a new session each time. After 24 hours, the session expires and you'll need to get a new session ID. So now you know how to reuse a knowledgebased session in Amazon Bedrock. Thanks for watching and happy cloud computing from all of us here at AWS. [Music] [Applause] [Music]
