CreateGateway (updated)

Link ¶
Changes (both)

{'authorizerType': {'AWS_IAM'}}

Creates a gateway for Amazon Bedrock Agent. A gateway serves as an integration point between your agent and external services.

To create a gateway, you must specify a name, protocol type, and IAM role. The role grants the gateway permission to access Amazon Web Services services and resources.
