  • DynamoDB tables (4 tables)
  • CloudWatch log groups (20+ groups)
  • SNS topics (3 topics)
  • Step Functions state machines (2 machines)

2. AWS Credentials Configuration

Option A: AWS CLI Profiles

# Configure AWS credentials
aws configure --profile bedrock-budgeteer
# Enter Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Region, and Output format

Option B: Environment Variables

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-access-key"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-secret-key"
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="us-east-1"

Option C: IAM Roles (Recommended for EC2/Cloud9)

• Attach appropriate IAM role to EC2 instance
• No additional configuration required

3. Required AWS Permissions

The deployment user/role needs the following permissions:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "cloudformation:*",
        "lambda:*",
        "dynamodb:*",
        "s3:*",
        "iam:*",
        "events:*",
        "sns:*",
        "stepfunctions:*",
        "logs:*",
        "ssm:*",
        "kms:*",
        "firehose:*",
        "cloudtrail:*",
        "bedrock:*",
        "pricing:*"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

Step-by-Step Deployment

Step 1: Clone and Setup Repository

# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd bedrock-budgeteer

# Navigate to the app directory
cd app

# Create Python virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv

# Activate virtual environment
# On macOS/Linux:
source .venv/bin/activate
# On Windows:
# .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install Python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Verify CDK installation
cdk --version

Step 2: CDK Bootstrap (One-time per Account/Region)

Important: The system requires specific bootstrap configuration to work properly.

# Bootstrap CDK with custom toolkit stack name and S3 configuration
cdk bootstrap \
  --toolkit-stack-name CDKToolkit-bedrock-budgeteer \
  --public-access-block-configuration false

# Verify bootstrap succeeded
aws cloudformation describe-stacks \
  --stack-name CDKToolkit-bedrock-budgeteer \
  --query 'Stacks[0].StackStatus'

Why Custom Bootstrap?

• Custom toolkit stack name prevents conflicts
• public-access-block-configuration false required for CloudTrail S3 bucket
• Ensures proper S3 bucket policies for CloudTrail

Step 3: Pre-deployment Configuration (Optional)

Set Environment Variables (Optional):

# Set target region (default: us-east-1)
export CDK_DEFAULT_REGION="us-east-1"

# Set target account (auto-detected if not set)
export CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT="123456789012"

# Set notification email (optional)
export OPS_EMAIL="[email protected]"

# Set Slack webhook for notifications (optional)
export SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="https://hooks.slack.com/services/..."

Step 4: Synthesize CloudFormation Template

# Generate CloudFormation template
cdk synth

# Review the generated template (optional)
# Template will be in cdk.out/BedrockBudgeteer.template.json

What to Look For:

• Verify all expected resources are present
• Check IAM roles have appropriate permissions
• Ensure S3 bucket policies are correctly configured
• Confirm DynamoDB tables have proper encryption

Step 5: Deploy the System

# Deploy with automatic approval (recommended for CI/CD)
cdk deploy --require-approval never

# Alternative: Deploy with manual approval
cdk deploy

Deployment Process:

1. CloudFormation stack creation begins
2. IAM roles and policies created first
3. DynamoDB tables provisioned
4. S3 buckets and encryption configured
5. Lambda functions deployed
6. EventBridge rules activated
7. Step Functions state machines created
8. CloudWatch alarms and dashboards configured

Expected Deployment Time: 10-15 minutes

Step 6: Verify Deployment

# Check stack status
aws cloudformation describe-stacks \
  --stack-name BedrockBudgeteer \
  --query 'Stacks[0].StackStatus'

# List created resources
aws cloudformation describe-stack-resources \
  --stack-name BedrockBudgeteer \
  --query 'StackResources[?ResourceStatus==`CREATE_COMPLETE`].[LogicalResourceId,ResourceType]' \
  --output table

Post-Deployment Configuration

Step 1: Configure SSM Parameters

The system will work with default values, but you can customize behavior:

# Set custom default budget (optional - default is $1)
aws ssm put-parameter \
  --name "/bedrock-budgeteer/global/default_user_budget_usd" \
  --value "25" \
  --type "String" \
  --overwrite

# Adjust warning threshold (optional - default is 70%)
aws ssm put-parameter \
  --name "/bedrock-budgeteer/global/thresholds_percent_warn" \
  --value "60" \
  --type "String" \
  --overwrite

# Adjust critical threshold (optional - default is 90%)
aws ssm put-parameter \
  --name "/bedrock-budgeteer/global/thresholds_percent_critical" \
  --value "85" \
  --type "String" \
  --overwrite

# Set grace period (optional - default is 300 seconds)
aws ssm put-parameter \
  --name "/bedrock-budgeteer/global/grace_period_seconds" \
  --value "600" \
  --type "String" \
  --overwrite

# Set budget refresh period (optional - default is 30 days)
aws ssm put-parameter \
  --name "/bedrock-budgeteer/production/cost/budget_refresh_period_days" \
  --value "7" \
  --type "String" \
  --overwrite

Step 2: Configure Bedrock Invocation Logging

Important: You must manually configure Bedrock to send invocation logs to the created log group.

1. Get the log group details: ```bash

   Get the Bedrock logging role ARN

   aws cloudformation describe-stacks
   –stack-name BedrockBudgeteer
   –query ‘Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==BedrockLoggingRoleArn].OutputValue’
   –output text

Get the log group name

aws cloudformation describe-stacks
–stack-name BedrockBudgeteer
–query ‘Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==BedrockInvocationLogGroupName].OutputValue’
–output text

2. **Configure Bedrock logging via AWS Console:**
   - Navigate to AWS Bedrock Console
   - Go to "Settings" → "Model Invocation Logging"
   - Enable logging with the following settings:
     - **CloudWatch Logs**: Enabled
     - **Log Group**: Use the log group name from step 1
     - **Role ARN**: Use the role ARN from step 1
     - **Log large text data**: Enabled
     - **Log image data**: Enabled (if using vision models)

3. **Alternative: Configure via CLI:**
```bash
# Get the values
ROLE_ARN=$(aws cloudformation describe-stacks \
  --stack-name BedrockBudgeteer \
  --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==`BedrockLoggingRoleArn`].OutputValue' \
  --output text)

LOG_GROUP=$(aws cloudformation describe-stacks \
  --stack-name BedrockBudgeteer \
  --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==`BedrockInvocationLogGroupName`].OutputValue' \
  --output text)

# Configure Bedrock logging
aws bedrock put-model-invocation-logging-configuration \
  --logging-config '{
    "cloudWatchConfig": {
      "logGroupName": "'$LOG_GROUP'",
      "roleArn": "'$ROLE_ARN'",
      "largeDataDeliveryS3Config": {
        "bucketName": "bedrock-budgeteer-production-cloudtrail"
      }
    },
    "textDataDeliveryEnabled": true,
    "imageDataDeliveryEnabled": true,
    "embeddingDataDeliveryEnabled": true
  }'

Step 3: Set Up Notification Channels

Email Notifications:

# Email notifications are auto-configured if OPS_EMAIL environment variable was set
# To add additional email subscriptions:
aws sns subscribe \
  --topic-arn "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:ACCOUNT:bedrock-budgeteer-production-operational-alerts" \
  --protocol email \
  --notification-endpoint "[email protected]"

# Confirm subscription via email link

Slack Integration:

# If SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL was set during deployment, Slack notifications are already configured
# To verify Slack integration, check Lambda function:
aws lambda get-function \
  --function-name "bedrock-budgeteer-production-slack-notifications"

Step 4: Test the System

Test Budget Monitoring:

# Create a test user with low budget
aws dynamodb put-item \
  --table-name bedrock-budgeteer-production-user-budgets \
  --item '{
    "principal_id": {"S": "[email protected]"},
    "budget_limit_usd": {"N": "0.01"},
    "spent_usd": {"N": "0.02"},
    "status": {"S": "active"},
    "account_type": {"S": "bedrock_api_key"},
    "budget_period_start": {"S": "'$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")'"},
    "created_at": {"S": "'$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")'"}
  }'

# Trigger budget monitor manually
aws lambda invoke \
  --function-name bedrock-budgeteer-budget-monitor-production \
  --payload '{}' \
  /tmp/response.json

# Check response
cat /tmp/response.json

Test User Creation:

# Simulate API key creation event
aws events put-events \
  --entries '[{
    "Source": "aws.iam",
    "DetailType": "AWS API Call via CloudTrail",
    "Detail": "{\"eventName\":\"CreateUser\",\"responseElements\":{\"user\":{\"userName\":\"BedrockAPIKey-TestUser\"}}}"
  }]'

# Check if user was created in DynamoDB
aws dynamodb scan \
  --table-name bedrock-budgeteer-production-user-budgets \
  --filter-expression "contains(principal_id, :user)" \
  --expression-attribute-values '{":user":{"S":"BedrockAPIKey-TestUser"}}'

Monitoring and Verification

Step 1: Check CloudWatch Dashboards

1. Navigate to CloudWatch Console → Dashboards
2. Look for these dashboards:
   • bedrock-budgeteer-production-system
   • bedrock-budgeteer-production-ingestion-pipeline
   • bedrock-budgeteer-production-workflow-orchestration
   • bedrock-budgeteer-production-business-metrics

Step 2: Verify Lambda Functions

# List all deployed Lambda functions
aws lambda list-functions \
  --query 'Functions[?starts_with(FunctionName, `bedrock-budgeteer`)].FunctionName' \
  --output table

# Check function logs
aws logs describe-log-groups \
  --log-group-name-prefix "/aws/lambda/bedrock-budgeteer" \
  --query 'logGroups[].logGroupName'

Step 3: Verify DynamoDB Tables

# List DynamoDB tables
aws dynamodb list-tables \
  --query 'TableNames[?starts_with(@, `bedrock-budgeteer`)]'

# Check table status
aws dynamodb describe-table \
  --table-name bedrock-budgeteer-production-user-budgets \
  --query 'Table.TableStatus'

Step 4: Verify Step Functions

# List state machines
aws stepfunctions list-state-machines \
  --query 'stateMachines[?starts_with(name, `bedrock-budgeteer`)].name'

# Check state machine status
aws stepfunctions describe-state-machine \
  --state-machine-arn "arn:aws:states:us-east-1:ACCOUNT:stateMachine:bedrock-budgeteer-suspension-production"

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue 1: CDK Bootstrap Fails

Error: AccessDenied: User is not authorized to perform: sts:AssumeRole

Solution:

# Check AWS credentials
aws sts get-caller-identity

# Ensure user has sufficient permissions
# Re-run bootstrap with correct profile
aws configure list
cdk bootstrap --profile your-profile

Issue 2: S3 Bucket Policy Errors

Error: PUT Bucket Public Access Block failed

Solution:

# Use custom bootstrap command with public access block disabled
cdk bootstrap \
  --toolkit-stack-name CDKToolkit-bedrock-budgeteer \
  --public-access-block-configuration false

Issue 3: Lambda Function Timeouts

Error: Lambda functions timing out during deployment

Solution:

# Check CloudWatch logs for specific errors
aws logs filter-log-events \
  --log-group-name "/aws/lambda/bedrock-budgeteer-user-setup-production" \
  --start-time 1640995200000

# Increase memory and timeout if needed

Issue 4: DynamoDB Provisioning Errors

Error: LimitExceededException: Account limit exceeded

Solution:

# Check service quotas
aws service-quotas get-service-quota \
  --service-code dynamodb \
  --quota-code L-F98FE922

# Request quota increase if needed

Issue 5: EventBridge Rules Not Triggering

Problem: Events not reaching Lambda functions

Debug Steps:

# Check EventBridge rule configuration
aws events describe-rule \
  --name bedrock-budgeteer-user-setup-production

# Test event pattern
aws events test-event-pattern \
  --event-pattern '{"source":["aws.iam"],"detail-type":["AWS API Call via CloudTrail"]}' \
  --event '{"source":"aws.iam","detail-type":"AWS API Call via CloudTrail"}'

# Check Lambda function permissions
aws lambda get-policy \
  --function-name bedrock-budgeteer-user-setup-production

Rollback Procedures

Option 1: Stack Rollback

# Rollback to previous version (if deployment failed)
aws cloudformation cancel-update-stack \
  --stack-name BedrockBudgeteer

# Wait for rollback to complete
aws cloudformation wait stack-update-complete \
  --stack-name BedrockBudgeteer

Option 2: Complete Stack Deletion

# Delete the entire stack
cdk destroy

# Confirm deletion
aws cloudformation describe-stacks \
  --stack-name BedrockBudgeteer

Note: DynamoDB tables and S3 buckets have RemovalPolicy.DESTROY configured to allow proper cleanup.
