Assessment. Bedrock reaches Claude, GPT-6, Nova, Llama and other families through one IAM-controlled API, with a 99.9 per cent SLA and a per-Region zero-retention switch. Setup needs an AWS account, IAM permissions and a Region, capabilities vary by model, and some Regions gave five older Claude models about 34 days of notice.

From our research 11 facts checked against the vendor's pages
Surface listed
Model inference on the bedrock-runtime and bedrock-mantle endpoints (Converse, InvokeModel, Responses, Chat Completions and Messages). Bedrock Guardrails, model customisation and AgentCore are separate listings (amazon-bedrock-guardrails, amazon-bedrock-customization, agentcore-*). Read from AWS's docs, pricing, price feed and health history on 6 November 2026; no account was made
Free tier
No Bedrock free tier. New AWS accounts get up to $200 in credits, and the Free Tier page lists Bedrock among eligible services
Trains on API data
No. The security page says customer data isn't shared with model providers or used to improve the base models
Data retention
Not stored by default. Claude Fable 5 and 5.1 keep all traffic up to 30 days, GPT-6 and GPT-5.x models keep classifier-flagged traffic up to 30 days
Zero data retention
data_retention_mode: none per Region or per project, which blocks models that require retention. Zero retention for Claude Fable 5 and 5.1 is granted only through the Enterprise Frontier Safeguards programme
Rate limits
Per-model tokens a minute per Region, published in the AWS General Reference and adjustable in Service Quotas, plus a cross-model tokens-per-day quota
Endpoints
bedrock-runtime (Converse, InvokeModel, Responses, Chat Completions) and bedrock-mantle (OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible, projects)
Batch
50% off on supported models, not shown for Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5. Since 26 October 2026 the docs say on-demand requests take priority over batch jobs, completion isn't guaranteed and jobs time out after 24 hours by default, up to 168

Strengths

  • One API and one bill for Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, xAI and other model families
  • IAM policies can limit a caller to named model ARNs, and short-term API keys expire within 12 hours
  • A none data retention mode per Region blocks any model that would store prompts
  • Published SLA of 99.9 per cent a month per Region with service credits
  • Per-model token quotas published with default values, for example 30,000,000 tokens a minute for Opus 5.5 global inference

Weaknesses

  • An AWS account, IAM setup and a Region choice come before the first call, and an agent can't sign up alone
  • Batch inference isn't shown for Claude Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5, and since 26 October batch completion isn't guaranteed
  • Claude Fable 5 and 5.1 retain all traffic up to 30 days, and AWS may review flagged prompts
  • Five older Claude models went Legacy on 10 or 13 October 2026 with end of life on 13 November in some Regions, against the 6-month floor the policy states
  • The Middle East (UAE) and (Bahrain) Regions have been disrupted since March 2026, and AWS says some data there can't be restored

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Use the geographic or global inference ID from the model card, such as global.anthropic.claude-opus-5-5. Global routing is cheaper but can process data in any commercial Region
  2. Set data_retention_mode to none in each Region before sending sensitive data. Models that need retention then return ValidationException
  3. Back off with jitter on 429 ThrottlingException, 503 and 529 overloaded_error, and honour Retry-After when it's sent
  4. Generate short-term API keys from an IAM role for production. Long-term keys create an IAM user and AWS marks them exploration only
  5. Call ListFoundationModels in your Region and read modelLifecycle before pinning a model ID. Claude 3.x IDs in several Regions stop working on 13 November 2026 and requests don't redirect

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

The endpoints are on amazonaws.com and api.aws, both AWS domains. The security.txt on aws.amazon.com had expired on 2026-09-24 and was renewed, with Expires 2027-10-16, when read on 2026-11-06.

AWS's public history feed (historyevents.json) lists Amazon Bedrock as disrupted in the ME-CENTRAL-1 and ME-SOUTH-1 Regions since March 2026, with a last update on 15 September 2026, and no Bedrock event in other Regions in the 90 days to 6 November 2026. An EU-SOUTH-2 packet-loss event on 4 October 2026 named Bedrock AgentCore, not Bedrock.

The pricing page fills its tables by script. Prices here come from AWS's public price feed of 30 September 2026; the bedrockfoundationmodels feed read on 6 November (published 12 October) carries only rate codes.

Checked 2026-11-06 against the vendor's own pages and the domain registry. Provenance is half of Transparency & trust.

AWS Health Dashboard with per-service, per-Region feeds and a public history file (20). The history lists Amazon Bedrock as disrupted in ME-CENTRAL-1 (UAE) and ME-SOUTH-1 (Bahrain) since March 2026, where AWS said on 15 September 2026 (still inside the 90-day window on 6 November) that it can't restore resources held only there. No other Bedrock event appears in the history in the 90 days to 6 November; an EU-SOUTH-2 packet-loss event on 4 October named Bedrock AgentCore, not Bedrock. This counts as one major event (10). StatusGator's third-party mirror shows 'Increased Error Rates' warnings on 24, 26 and 27 August and 10 September that we couldn't find in AWS's own history, so we didn't score them. Per-model token quotas with default values in the AWS General Reference, such as 30,000,000 tokens a minute for Opus 5.5 global inference (15). The error guide gives exponential backoff with jitter for 429, 503 and 529 and says to honour Retry-After, and the SDKs retry ModelNotReadyException up to five times (15). SLA of 99.9 per cent a month per Region for the model APIs, last updated 4 October 2023 (10). Converse and the current Claude, GPT-6 and Nova 2 Lite models are GA (10).

Model reading. No OpenAPI, but the bedrock-runtime and bedrock Smithy models are public in aws/api-models-aws with types, required members and enums, counted as for S3 (25). llms.txt for the user guide with about 2,000 lines, each page with a Markdown twin (10). Model cards state context, output limits, endpoints and supported functions per model, and the guide now recommends bedrock-runtime for new work, but support for each API, endpoint and feature changes model by model (16 of 20). Structured outputs compile JSON Schema to a grammar, with minimum, maximum and string lengths supported, though some inference profiles don't support it, such as Haiku 4.5 through the India profile (13 of 15). Every operation lists typed errors with HTTP codes and links to a troubleshooting page with causes and fixes, and examples run through the guide (15). API version 2023-09-30 and a dated document history with an RSS feed, newest entry 30 October 2026, with structured outputs for Claude on both endpoints added on 18 October (15).

Model reading of the checklist (tool use, structured output, caching, context, batch, SDKs, errors). Converse takes tools with toolChoice auto, any or a named tool and strict: true, but forced choice depends on the model behind it (17 of 20). Structured outputs on supported models only (13 of 15). Explicit and implicit prompt caching, cache reads at $0.20 per million on Opus 5.5, 0.05x input, with 5-minute and 1-hour TTLs (15). 1M-token context on Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Nova 2 Lite, a judgement call since Bedrock has no default model (15). Batch at half price on supported models, but the pricing page shows none for Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5, while Flex is half price on Nova (7 of 10). AWS SDKs in every major language plus token generators for Python, JavaScript and Java (10). Typed errors with recovery advice per code (15).

Model reading. IAM with SigV4, roles and STS session credentials, policies down to a model or inference-profile ARN, short-term API keys that expire within 12 hours, long-term keys with expiry and reset, and condition keys that can deny bearer tokens altogether (30). The security page says customer data isn't shared with model providers or used to improve the base models (20). The abuse detection page says Bedrock stores no inputs or outputs by default, and a per-Region none mode blocks models that require retention, but Claude Fable 5 and 5.1 keep all traffic up to 30 days and GPT-6 and GPT-5.x keep flagged traffic up to 30 days (13 of 15, a judgement call; Anthropic's own API got 12 for the same Fable exception without an account-level block). CloudTrail logs API calls, and model invocation logging can send prompts and responses to S3 or CloudWatch Logs (15). Bedrock is in ISO, SOC and CSA STAR Level 2 scope, HIPAA eligible and FedRAMP High in GovCloud (US-West) per its security page, with a vulnerability disclosure programme on HackerOne, and the aws.amazon.com security.txt, expired on 6 October, was renewed with Expires 2027-10-16 when read on 6 November (20). Up from 96 on 6 October for that reason.

Model reading. The last model or API change is 30 October 2026 (OpenAI model API support and cross-Region inference in GovCloud), after structured outputs for Claude on both endpoints on 18 October (30). Models launched since 7 September 2026 get a 6-month or 45-day Legacy period, but the legacy page, which promises at least 6 months in Legacy, lists Claude 3 Haiku, 3 Sonnet, 3.5 Sonnet, 3.5 Sonnet v2 and 3.7 Sonnet as Legacy from 10 or 13 October with end of life on 13 November in several Regions, about 34 days (6 of 12, down from 10). Six models reached end of life in the 90 days to 6 November on five dates, Command R and R+ on 19 August, Claude 3 Haiku on 10 September, Nova Sonic on 14 September, Nova Canvas and Nova Reel on 30 September and Claude Sonnet 4 on 14 October (3 of 8, down from 4).

Closed service under the AWS Customer Agreement and Service Terms, with the SDKs and Smithy models under Apache-2.0 (18, as for S3). The data retention, abuse detection and security pages agree that Bedrock stores nothing by default, name the models that retain traffic and for how long, and say retained data isn't shared with providers. The retention page's default mode says AWS 'may retain the data for safety and abuse-prevention purposes' without a period, and a legacy provider_data_share mode is kept though sharing isn't supported (25 of 30). A written lifecycle policy with Legacy and EOL dates per model, but the legacy table's 34-day Legacy periods for five Claude models in some Regions contradict its own 6-month floor (15 of 20, down from 18). AWS's sub-processor list, per the 4 October S3 check, and per-Region, geographic and global inference options, with global routing able to process data in any commercial Region (18 of 20).

Fix list 13 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on Amazon Bedrock. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

What we couldn't check

  • Changed since 6 October 2026 (rechecked 6 November). security.txt renewed (security 96 to 98); five Claude 3.x models given about 34 days of Legacy notice in some Regions and Claude Sonnet 4 reached end of life on 14 October (maintenance 86 to 81, transparency 79 to 76); structured outputs for Claude on both endpoints from 18 October; Sonnet 5.5 cache reads halved from 7 October; status history unchanged
  • Whether AWS gave the affected accounts longer notice of the 13 November 2026 Claude 3.x end-of-life dates by email or the Health Dashboard than the legacy table's 10 October Legacy date shows. Nothing is deducted until that is clear
  • unchecked: whether AWS Free Tier credits on the Free plan cover third-party models such as Claude, which are sold through AWS Marketplace
  • unchecked: per-model prices on 6 November, since the pricing page's tables are drawn by script and the public bedrockfoundationmodels feed carries only rate codes; the Opus 5.5 figures rest on the 30 September feed
  • StatusGator lists Bedrock 'Increased Error Rates' warnings on 24, 26 and 27 August and 10 September 2026 that AWS's public history file doesn't contain; we couldn't establish which Regions they covered (not re-read on 6 November)

Probe metrics

Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. The live panel above has what the pollers have seen so far, which doesn't change the score.

Pricing & changes

Pay per use from $0.30 / 1M in Per-token prices per model and Region, with Standard, Priority, Flex and Reserved tiers. Claude Opus 5.5 costs $4/$20 per million tokens through global cross-Region inference and $4.40/$22 through geographic or in-Region inference, cache reads $0.20. Cache reads on Claude Sonnet 5.5 were cut by half from 7 October 2026. Batch is half price on supported models but was not shown for Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5. New AWS accounts get up to $200 in Free Tier credits (https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing/, rates per AWS's price feed of 30 September 2026; the page's tables are drawn by script and were not readable on 6 November).

Each figure is the same tokens priced at this model's rates, research report (134 fresh input, 207k cache writes, 10.5M cache reads and 46k output, the median of 156 runs), small website (48 fresh input, 106k cache writes, 2.2M cache reads and 40k output, the median of 4 runs) and bug fix (16 fresh input, 57k cache writes, 472k cache reads and 2k output, the median of 4 runs). We measured the tokens with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, so another model may use more or fewer tokens for the same job, and these compare prices, not how well or how efficiently each model works. Long-context surcharges, batch discounts and free allowances aren't counted. How we measured them.

    It counts on a page on amazon.com or one of its subdomains, or the README at the root of github.com/aws/api-models-aws.

  2. Tell us where it is

    We read it once now and again every week. If the link is missing two weeks in a row the listing says so, and a later check puts it back.

Agents send the same to POST /api/v1/verify as {"slug": "amazon-bedrock", "url": "…"}, or call the verify_listing tool at /mcp. Ten checks an hour from one address. What we check. To announce the listing, get sharing assets for social media.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
