Amazon Bedrock expands IAM principal cost allocation to the bedrock-mantle endpoint

Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides secure, enterprise-grade access to high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies, enabling you to build and scale generative AI applications. Amazon Bedrock now supports cost allocation by AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) principal, including IAM users and roles, for model inference requests made through the bedrock-mantle endpoint. This extends the capability previously available for the bedrock-runtime endpoint, helping customers attribute inference costs across users, teams, projects, and applications.
Customers can tag IAM users and roles with attributes such as team, project, or cost center, activate them as cost allocation tags, and analyze bedrock-mantle inference costs by those tags in AWS Cost Explorer or at the line-item level in AWS Cost and Usage Report 2.0 (CUR 2.0). To get started, activate your IAM principal tags in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console. Then filter or group costs by those tags in Cost Explorer, or create a CUR 2.0 data export and select Include caller identity (IAM principal) allocation data.
This feature is available in all AWS Regions where the bedrock-mantle endpoint is available. To learn more, see Using IAM principal for cost allocation and IAM principal attribution in Amazon Bedrock.

Amazon EC2 R8a instances are now available in Canada (Central) region

Starting today, Amazon EC2 R8a instances are now available in Canada (Central) Region. These instances, feature 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors (formerly code named Turin) with a maximum frequency of 4.5 GHz, deliver up to 30% higher performance, and up to 19% better price-performance compared to R7a instances.
R8a instances deliver 45% more memory bandwidth compared to R7a instances, making these instances ideal for latency sensitive workloads. Compared to Amazon EC2 R7a instances, R8a instances provide up to 60% faster performance for GroovyJVM, allowing higher request throughput and better response times for business-critical applications.
Built on the AWS Nitro System using sixth generation Nitro Cards, R8a instances are ideal for high performance, memory-intensive workloads, such as SQL and NoSQL databases, distributed web scale in-memory caches, in-memory databases, real-time big data analytics, and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) applications. R8a instances offer 12 sizes including 2 bare metal sizes. Amazon EC2 R8a instances are SAP-certified, and providing 38% more SAPS compared to R7a instances.
To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. For more information about the new instances, visit the Amazon EC2 R8a instance page.
