Amazon Bedrock launches in New Zealand

Amazon Bedrock is now accessible in the Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region, specifically Auckland. This expansion allows New Zealand customers to directly utilize Anthropic's Claude models, including Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku, alongside Amazon's Nova 2 Lite. The service enables cross-region inference, providing insights into how this functionality operates from the New Zealand Region. It also details the models available through geographic and global routing, guiding users on initiating their first API calls for generative AI inference.
