Amazon Bedrock Brings Claude Haiku 5.5 Cross-Region Inference to Canada

Amazon Bedrock now supports Canada cross-Region inference (CRIS) for Claude Haiku 5.5, letting you keep all data processing within Canadian borders—specifically between ca-central-1 and ca-west-1. Perfect for regulated industries like finance and healthcare that need strict data residency compliance, though note that model selection is limited for this profile.
