Today, Amazon Bedrock announces support for cross-region inference, an optional feature that enables developers to seamlessly manage traffic bursts by utilizing compute across different AWS Regions. By using cross-region inference, Bedrock customers using on-demand mode will be able to get higher throughput limits (up to 2x their allocated in-region quotas) and enhanced resilience during periods of peak demand. By opting in, developers no longer have to spend time and effort predicting demand fluctuations. Instead, cross-region inference dynamically routes traffic across multiple regions, ensuring optimal availability for each request and smoother performance during high-usage periods.

Customers can control where their inference data flows by selecting from a pre-defined set of regions, helping them comply with applicable data residency requirements and sovereignty laws. Moreover, this capability prioritizes the connected Bedrock API source region when possible, helping to minimize latency and improve responsiveness. As a result, customers can enhance their applications’ reliability, performance, and efficiency.

There’s no additional routing cost for using cross-region inference and you will be charged based on the region you made the request in (source region). Please find the list of supported models and pre-defined regions here . To learn more about the feature and how to get started, refer to the Amazon Bedrock documentation or this blog .

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal now supports Microsoft Entra ID and Intune. With this launch, customers using Amazon WorkSpaces Personal can now provision virtual desktops joined with Entra ID and enrolled in Intune, without requiring Microsoft Active Directory. By integrating with AWS IAM Identity Center, the launch also allows customers the flexibility to use other cloud-based identity and endpoint management solutions with WorkSpaces including JumpCloud.

With the launch, WorkSpaces Personal now supports both AD and non-AD domain joined virtual desktops. For customers who want to use Entra ID for identity management, AWS IAM Identity Center is used to ensure user identity data is automatically synchronized from Entra ID to AWS. Leveraging Windows Autopilot user-driven mode, Windows 10 and 11 virtual desktops are automatically enrolled to Intune during provisioning and joined to Entra ID during Windows Out of Box Experience (OOBE). End users log into their virtual desktops as Entra ID users, so they can access Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise without another Entra ID login. In addition, with non-AD domain joined WorkSpaces, customers now have the option to use JumpCloud which is a native cloud directory platform which provides identity, access, and device management.

The feature is generally available today in all regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Personal is offered, except for Africa (Cape Town), Israel (Tel Aviv), and China regions. There is no extra cost for using the feature and IAM Identity Center.

To learn more about the feature, see Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide . To get started with the feature, log on to AWS Management Console .
