Amazon Bedrock expands Claude model availability to in-country inferencing in India
Amazon Bedrock launches in-country Claude inferencing in India for data residency compliance
AWS has enabled Claude Opus 5, Sonnet 5, and Haiku 4.5 on Amazon Bedrock with a dedicated India geographic cross-Region inference profile, keeping data processing within ap-south-1 and ap-south-2 regions. This addresses a key enterprise requirement for data localization and regulatory compliance in India. While not a model or capability advancement, it signals accelerating enterprise AI adoption in India and the growing importance of data sovereignty as a competitive differentiator for cloud AI platforms.
