# Amazon Bedrock connector and action
<important>
  This connector is being replaced by Elasticsearch inference endpoints and will be removed entirely in Elastic Stack 10.0 or in January 2028, whichever comes first. To configure access to an LLM provider, create an inference endpoint with the `chat_completion` task type. For steps that use your own provider account and API key, refer to [External inference](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/tree/main/explore-analyze/elastic-inference/external). To use models that Elastic hosts instead, refer to [Elastic Managed LLMs](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/kibana/pull/303145/reference/connectors-kibana/elastic-managed-llm).Availability of this connector depends on your deployment and version:
  - <applies-to>Elastic Cloud Serverless: Deprecated</applies-to> <applies-to>Elastic Stack: Planned for deprecation</applies-to> You can no longer create new connectors of this type by selecting **Create connector** in Kibana. Existing connectors and their rule actions continue to work, but the **Connectors** page hides them by default. To show them, open **Display options** and set **Deprecated** to **Show**.
  - <applies-to>Elastic Stack: Deprecated in 9.5</applies-to> This connector is still available, but deprecated.
</important>

The Amazon Bedrock connector uses [axios](https://github.com/axios/axios) to send a POST request to Amazon Bedrock.

The Amazon Bedrock actions have the following configuration properties.
<definitions>
  <definition term="Body">
    A stringified JSON payload sent to the Amazon Bedrock Invoke Model API URL. For example:

## Connector networking configuration

Use the [Action configuration settings](/elastic/kibana/pull/303145/reference/configuration-reference/alerting-settings#action-settings) to customize connector networking configurations, such as proxies, certificates, or TLS settings. You can set configurations that apply to all your connectors or use `xpack.actions.customHostSettings` to set per-host configurations.
