Unlocking AI flexibility in Europe: A guide to cross-region inference for EU data processing and model access

Amazon Web Services published a guide explaining how cross-Region Inference (CRIS) on Amazon Bedrock lets European customers run generative AI workloads with more capacity while keeping data inside the European Union. The feature automatically routes model requests across several EU AWS Regions, such as Frankfurt, Ireland, Paris, and Stockholm, so a request starting in Europe is only ever processed in Europe. Traffic stays on the encrypted AWS network and never crosses the public internet, which helps businesses meet data residency and GDPR obligations.
