kendra.Client.
create_index
(**kwargs)¶Creates an Amazon Kendra index. Index creation is an asynchronous API. To determine if index creation has completed, check the Status
field returned from a call to DescribeIndex
. The Status
field is set to ACTIVE
when the index is ready to use.
Once the index is active you can index your documents using the BatchPutDocument
API or using one of the supported data sources.
For an example of creating an index and data source using the Python SDK, see Getting started with Python SDK. For an example of creating an index and data source using the Java SDK, see Getting started with Java SDK.

[REQUIRED]
A name for the index.
The Amazon Kendra edition to use for the index. Choose DEVELOPER_EDITION
for indexes intended for development, testing, or proof of concept. Use ENTERPRISE_EDITION
for your production databases. Once you set the edition for an index, it can't be changed.
The Edition
parameter is optional. If you don't supply a value, the default is ENTERPRISE_EDITION
.
For more information on quota limits for enterprise and developer editions, see Quotas.
[REQUIRED]
An Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that gives Amazon Kendra permissions to access your Amazon CloudWatch logs and metrics. This is also the role you use when you call the BatchPutDocument
API to index documents from an Amazon S3 bucket.
The identifier of the KMS customer managed key (CMK) that's used to encrypt data indexed by Amazon Kendra. Amazon Kendra doesn't support asymmetric CMKs.
The identifier of the KMS key. Amazon Kendra doesn't support asymmetric keys.
A token that you provide to identify the request to create an index. Multiple calls to the CreateIndex
API with the same client token will create only one index.
This field is autopopulated if not provided.
A list of key-value pairs that identify the index. You can use the tags to identify and organize your resources and to control access to resources.
A list of key/value pairs that identify an index, FAQ, or data source. Tag keys and values can consist of Unicode letters, digits, white space, and any of the following symbols: _ . : / = + - @.
The key for the tag. Keys are not case sensitive and must be unique for the index, FAQ, or data source.
The value associated with the tag. The value may be an empty string but it can't be null.
The user token configuration.
Provides the configuration information for a token.
Information about the JWT token type configuration.
The location of the key.
The signing key URL.
The Amazon Resource Name (arn) of the secret.
The user name attribute field.
The group attribute field.
The issuer of the token.
The regular expression that identifies the claim.
Information about the JSON token type configuration.
The user name attribute field.
The group attribute field.
The user context policy.
ATTRIBUTE_FILTER
All indexed content is searchable and displayable for all users. If you want to filter search results on user context, you can use the attribute filters of _user_id
and _group_ids
or you can provide user and group information in UserContext
.
USER_TOKEN
Enables token-based user access control to filter search results on user context. All documents with no access control and all documents accessible to the user will be searchable and displayable.
Enables fetching access levels of groups and users from an IAM Identity Center (successor to Single Sign-On) identity source. To configure this, see UserGroupResolutionConfiguration.
The identity store provider (mode) you want to use to fetch access levels of groups and users. IAM Identity Center (successor to Single Sign-On) is currently the only available mode. Your users and groups must exist in an IAM Identity Center identity source in order to use this mode.
