Amazon Bedrock now supports cross-region inference

This article announces Amazon Bedrock's new support for cross-region inference, an optional feature that allows developers to manage traffic bursts by utilizing compute across different AWS Regions.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Cross-region inference enables higher throughput limits (up to 2x in-region quotas) and enhanced resilience during peak demand periods.
• Developers can control where inference data flows by selecting pre-defined regions, helping comply with data residency requirements.
• The feature prioritizes the connected Bedrock API source region when possible to minimize latency.
• There's no additional routing cost for using cross-region inference.
• A list of supported models and pre-defined regions, as well as documentation and a blog post for getting started, are provided.
