Notes
The tables on this site answer questions you already know how to ask. These are the ones that took a paragraph of reasoning before the table meant anything — residency, the regional price spread, and what a model ID prefix really commits you to.
Every figure in a post is recomputed from the AWS APIs at build time rather than typed into the text, so none of them go stale quietly. RSS.
- 7 min residencycompliance
Your Bedrock data residency is probably not what you think
A model available in your region is not a model that runs in your region. On Amazon Bedrock those are different facts, and only one of them appears in the console.
- 6 min pricingregions
The same Bedrock model can cost twice as much in another region
AWS publishes Bedrock prices one region at a time, which is an effective way to hide that they are not the same price. They are not close.

Inference profiles, decoded: what us., eu. and global. actually do
The prefix on a Bedrock model ID decides where your prompt is processed, what it costs, and whether the call works at all. Here is what each one means.
