AWS Bedrock provides a unified interface to access multiple foundational GenAI models. The bedrock-access-gateway project enables OpenAI-style API key authentication for Bedrock, making it easier to integrate with existing workflows.
Key Features
- OpenAI-Compatible API – Use Bedrock like OpenAI with endpoint URLs and API keys.
- Seamless Auth – API keys stored in AWS Secrets Manager.
- Scalable Backend – Uses ALB with Lambda/Fargate.

You Should Know:
1. Deploying Bedrock Access Gateway
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/bedrock-access-gateway.git cd bedrock-access-gateway aws cloudformation deploy --template-file gateway.yaml --stack-name bedrock-gateway
2. Generating & Storing API Keys
Generate a random API key openssl rand -hex 32 Store in AWS Secrets Manager aws secretsmanager create-secret --name bedrock-api-key --secret-string "YOUR_API_KEY"
3. Querying Bedrock via API
curl -X POST "https://YOUR-ALB-DNS.amazonaws.com/v1/completions" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"prompt":"Explain AWS Bedrock in 50 words", "max_tokens":50}'
4. Monitoring API Usage
aws cloudwatch get-metric-statistics \ --namespace AWS/ApplicationELB \ --metric-name RequestCount \ --dimensions Name=LoadBalancer,Value=YOUR-ALB-ARN \ --start-time $(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ" --date="-5 minutes") \ --end-time $(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") \ --period 60 --statistics Sum
5. Securing the Gateway
Restrict ALB access to specific IPs
aws elbv2 modify-security-group-rules \
--group-id YOUR-SG-ID \
--security-group-rules '[{"SecurityGroupRuleId": "sgr-123", "SecurityGroupRule": { "IpProtocol": "tcp", "FromPort": 443, "ToPort": 443, "CidrIpv4": "YOUR_IP/32" }}]'
What Undercode Say
AWS Bedrock’s flexibility is enhanced by bedrock-access-gateway, bridging the gap between AWS IAM and OpenAI-style API keys. This setup is ideal for developers migrating from OpenAI to Bedrock while maintaining existing workflows.
🔹 Expected Commands Output:
{ "completion": "AWS Bedrock is a fully managed service offering access to high-performing foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies, enabling scalable generative AI applications." }
🔹 Prediction:
As more enterprises adopt multi-model GenAI strategies, tools like bedrock-access-gateway will become essential for unified API management across cloud providers.
Expected Output:
A functional OpenAI-compatible Bedrock API endpoint with secure key-based authentication.
