Accelerate generative AI innovation in Canada with Amazon Bedrock cross-Region inference
Machine Learning Blog
This article announces Amazon Bedrock cross-Region inference (CRIS) availability for Canadian organizations, enabling access to advanced foundation models like Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Haiku 4.5.
- Canadian customers can access latest foundation models via cross-Region inference from ca-central-1
- Two CRIS profile types: US routing and Global routing for flexible deployment options
- Data at rest remains in Canada; only transient inference processing occurs in destination regions
- Provides higher throughput, automatic burst handling, and greater resiliency during peak periods
- Quota management performed at source region level (ca-central-1) with 5x burndown rate for Claude Sonnet 4.5 output tokens
- Includes IAM configuration examples and Python code for getting started with Converse API
- Migration guidance provided for transitioning from older Claude models to Claude 4.5
CRIS enables Canadian organizations to leverage cutting-edge AI models while maintaining data governance and compliance requirements, with faster access to new models without compromising local data residency.
