Run Generative AI inference with Amazon Bedrock in Asia Pacific (New Zealand)
Today, we’re excited to announce that Amazon Bedrock is now available in the Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region (ap-southeast-6). Customers in New Zealand can now access Anthropic Claude models (Claude Opus 4.5, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.5, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5) and Amazon (Nova 2 Lite) models directly in the Auckland Region with cross region inference. In this post, we explore how cross-Region inference works from the New Zealand Region, the models available through geographic and global routing, and how to get started with your first API call. We
Improve operational visibility for inference workloads on Amazon Bedrock with new CloudWatch metrics for TTFT and Estimated Quota Consumption
Today, we’re announcing two new Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Bedrock, TimeToFirstToken and EstimatedTPMQuotaUsage. In this post, we cover how these work and how to set alarms, establish baselines, and proactively manage capacity using them.
Securing Amazon Bedrock cross-Region inference: Geographic and global
In this post, we explore the security considerations and best practices for implementing Amazon Bedrock cross-Region inference profiles. Whether you’re building a generative AI application or need to meet specific regional compliance requirements, this guide will help you understand the secure architecture of Amazon Bedrock CRIS and how to properly configure your implementation.
