## Summary

Amazon Bedrock now supports global cross‑Region inference for OpenAI GPT‑6 Sol, Luna, and Astra across five Asia Pacific regions. The post explains how to enable source regions, configure IAM policies and service control policies, and set a global inference profile ID in the model parameter.

Users must activate the source region (Singapore is enabled by default; Jakarta, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taipei are opt‑in) and install the required SDKs. The guide details the IAM policy statements needed to invoke the profile and how to adjust quotas measured in tokens per minute.

Quota rules state that each output token consumes ten tokens of quota, and billing remains in the source region. CloudTrail and CloudWatch logs stay in the source region, while the model runs in the destination region selected by Bedrock.

## Key points

- Amazon Bedrock now supports global cross‑Region inference for OpenAI GPT‑6 Sol, Luna, and Astra across five Asia Pacific regions.
- Users must enable source regions, configure IAM policies with specific statements, and set a global inference profile ID in the model parameter.
- Quota is measured in tokens per minute; each output token consumes 10 tokens of quota, and billing stays in the source region.

## Why it matters

Cross‑region inference expands Bedrock capacity for Asia Pacific users, reducing throttling and allowing enterprises to run GPT‑6 workloads without local capacity limits.
