What Bedrock Provides
AWS-managed access to Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, Cohere, and Amazon Titan models. VPC integration, IAM-based auth, unified billing, data residency through AWS regions.
CRM Integration
Salesforce BYO LLM routes to Bedrock endpoints. Custom agents call Bedrock directly. HubSpot’s enterprise tier supports Bedrock via integration templates.
When Bedrock Wins
Existing AWS commitments — pricing discounts apply. Regulated workloads where AWS data-residency matters. Architectures that already run in AWS — latency advantage stays within region.
When Direct API Wins
Cross-cloud architectures. Need for bleeding-edge model access (sometimes new versions hit direct APIs first). Simpler pricing for low-volume evaluations.
