# Create Amazon Bedrock resources with AWS CloudFormation
<a name="creating-resources-with-cloudformation"></a>

Amazon Bedrock is integrated with AWS CloudFormation, a service that helps you to model and set up your AWS resources so that you can spend less time creating and managing your resources and infrastructure. You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want (such as [Amazon Bedrock agents](agents.md) or [Amazon Bedrock knowledge bases](knowledge-base.md)), and CloudFormation provisions and configures those resources for you. 

When you use CloudFormation, you can reuse your template to set up your Amazon Bedrock resources consistently and repeatedly. Describe your resources once, and then provision the same resources over and over in multiple AWS accounts and Regions. 

Amazon Bedrock provides resources in two CloudFormation namespaces: `AWS::Bedrock`, for control-plane resources such as agents, knowledge bases, flows, guardrails, and prompts; and `AWS::BedrockMantle`, for projects on the `bedrock-mantle` endpoint. The following topics describe each namespace.
