Bedrock adds India geographic cross-Region inference for Claude models

aws.amazon.com by Aamna Najmi 4 min read Editor score 6/10

Claude models are available through geographic cross-Region inference from Mumbai and Hyderabad, with requests processed in India Regions. The post explains the residency model and how to invoke it through Bedrock APIs.

What: Amazon Bedrock makes Claude Opus 5, Sonnet 5, and Haiku 4.5 available in India through geographic cross-Region inference.
How: Requests route from a source Region only between ap-south-1 and ap-south-2; prompts and results might move between them.
Why it matters: This keeps inference within India while drawing on compute across Regions to help maintain throughput and performance under load.

Requests flow from the source Region through the India geographic profile to destination Regions. Sketched from the article's own text.
