I’m in Sydney this week for the AWS Summit Sydney and I’ve just been left with much excitement after a MASSIVE announcement.
This must be one of the year’s most anticipated announcements (in our region). I’ve had customers ask me every other week when this is happening. I can now say… TODAY rather than SOON.
I can practically hear you all leaning forward, eager to know what it is. Well, hold onto your seats because here it is: AWS Bedrock has officially landed in Sydney (ap-southeast-02)!
That’s right! AWS Bedrock is now available in Sydney (ap-southeast-02)
What does this mean for us Aussies? Lower latency for our Gen AI Workloads and the ability to respect data sovereignty.
