Getting started with Amazon Nova in the Amazon Bedrock console

This section describes how to use the playgrounds in the AWS console to submit a text prompt to Amazon Nova 2 models and generate a text or image response. Before you run the following examples, you should check that you have fulfilled the following prerequisites:

Prerequisites

  • You have an AWS account and have permissions to access a role in that account with the necessary permissions for Amazon Bedrock. Otherwise, follow the steps at Getting started with Amazon Bedrock.

  • If you are accessing the model from a US region, you must use the US CRIS endpoint which involves adding the us prefix to the model ID (such as us.amazon.nova-2-lite-v1:0).

  • If you are accessing the model from outside of the US, you can either use the global CRIS endpoint (such as global.amazon.nova-2-lite-v1:0) or prefix the region in the model ID (such as us/eu/jp).
