Service Tiers

Amazon Bedrock offers multiple service tiers to match your workload requirements. Standard provides pay-per-token access with no commitment. Priority offers higher throughput with a time-based commitment. Flex provides lower-cost access for flexible, non-time-sensitive workloads. Reserved provides dedicated throughput with a term commitment for predictable workloads. For more information, see service tiers.

Regional Availability

Regional availability at a glance

Bedrock offers three inference options: In-Region keeps requests within a single Region for strict compliance, Geo Cross-Region routes across Regions within a geography (US, EU, etc.) for higher throughput while respecting data residency, and Global Cross-Region routes anywhere worldwide for maximum throughput when there are no residency constraints. Refer to the Regional availability page for more details.
