Amazon SageMaker Data Agent now supports geo-specific inference for Japan and Australia

Amazon SageMakerAWS · Machine Learning

Amazon SageMaker Data Agent now supports cross-region inference profiles for Japan and Australia through Amazon Bedrock. With this update, inference requests from Data Agent in the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) and Asia Pacific (Sydney) regions are processed within their respective geographies, supporting data sovereignty requirements for customers in Japan and Australia.

Data Agent provides an AI-powered conversational experience for data exploration, Python and SQL code generation, troubleshooting, and analytics directly within Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio Notebook and Query Editor. With geo-specific inference through JP-CRIS (Japan Cross-Region Inference) and AU-CRIS (Australia Cross-Region Inference), you can use Data Agent with confidence that your inference requests are routed exclusively within your geography over the AWS Global Network. Customers in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and the public sector can meet data residency requirements while using the full set of Data Agent capabilities.

To get started, open a project in SageMaker Unified Studio in a supported region and use Data Agent in notebooks or Query Editor. For more information, see SageMaker Data Agent in the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio User Guide.
