Never Miss an Amazon Bedrock Model Deprecation Notice with AWS User Notifications and EventBridge

Short Description

Amazon Bedrock models follow a defined lifecycle: Active → Legacy → End-of-Life (EOL). When a model enters Legacy status, AWS provides at least 6 months of advance notice before it becomes inaccessible. These notifications arrive via AWS Health (Personal Health Dashboard), but if your team isn't actively monitoring the console, critical deprecation notices can slip through the cracks.

This article shows you how to use AWS User Notifications and EventBridge to ensure your team never misses a Bedrock model deprecation event: routing alerts to email, Slack, Amazon Chime, or the mobile app.

Resolution

Prerequisites:

• Understanding of Personal Health Dashboard and AWS Health notifications
• Ensure a dedicated email address or Slack channel exists to send Bedrock Model Deprecation notifications
• SNS Topic created for Event Bridge

Option 1: AWS User Notifications

Note: AWS User Notifications is not available in GovCloud yet (June 2026). Skip to Option 2 if you are using GovCloud.

1. Open AWS Health Notifications and click Create notification configuration

2. Fill out the Name field (i.e. Bedrock-Deprecation-Notifications)

3. Under Event Rules, fill out the following:

   • AWS service name: Health
   • Event type: Specific Health events
   • Region: select appropriate Region(s)

4. Click the Advanced filter (optional) and enter in the following JSON:

{
  "detail": {
    "eventTypeCode": [
      "AWS_BEDROCK_PLANNED_LIFECYCLE_EVENT"
    ]
  }
}

5. Under Delivery Channels, select the appropriate option for your use case:
   • If selecting Email, ensure the notifications are going to a dedicated email address where notifications won't be missed - don't send them to the same email address where your other health notifications are going - i.e. instead of health-notifications@abccompany.com, use bedrock-health@abccompany.com
   • If selecting Chat, you will need to Configure a chat client in Amazon Q Developer
6. Add tags if necessary (optional)
7. Click Create notification configuration

Option 2: EventBridge

1. Open EventBridge to create a Rule
2. Click on Advanced Builder
3. Fill out the Name Field (i.e. Bedrock-Deprecation-Notifications)
4. Enter a Description if you'd like and click Next
5. Under Events select Other
6. Enter the following JSON in the Event pattern under Custom pattern (JSON editor):

{
  "source": ["aws.health"],
  "detail-type": ["AWS Health Event"],
  "detail": {
    "eventTypeCode": ["AWS_BEDROCK_PLANNED_LIFECYCLE_EVENT"]
  }
}

7. Click Next
8. Configure your Target - for example, if you want to send the notification to an SNS topic, select AWS service under Target types and SNS topic under Select a target
9. Select Target Location and Topic of your SNS topic and click Next
10. Review and click Create Rule
