Bedrock Model Route Optimization

Opportunity Name: Bedrock Model Route Optimization

AWS Resource Type: Amazon Bedrock

Opportunity Description:
This Finder identifies opportunities to reduce costs in Amazon Bedrock by optimizing the model provider routes used for generative AI workloads. Different model providers (e.g., Anthropic, AI21, Stability AI) offer similar functionality at varying price points and performance characteristics.

CloudFix analyzes your Bedrock usage patterns and recommends lower-cost model endpoints that can deliver equivalent quality results at a reduced operational expense.

Criteria for identifying the opportunity:

• High-frequency usage of specific Bedrock model routes that have cost-effective alternatives.
• Workloads are suitable for alternate model providers (based on text generation, summarization, image generation, etc.).
• Latency and throughput performance requirements are compatible with the suggested alternative.
• Finder avoids suggesting model switches that would affect performance-critical or high-accuracy applications without a tested performance comparison.

Potential Savings (range in % on annual basis):
Savings depend on the usage volume and the cost delta between the current and recommended model route. In many cases, switching to a lower-cost provider can lead to 10–30% cost reduction, especially in large-scale generative AI workloads.

What happens when the Fixer is executed?
This Finder does not include an automatic Fixer.
Model routing adjustments must be manually implemented by:

1. Updating the application code or API configuration to use the alternative Bedrock model.
2. Conducting a test run with the new model to validate performance and output quality.
3. Deploying the updated route to production.

CloudFix provides a side-by-side comparison of costs and characteristics between current and recommended model providers.

Is it possible to rollback once CloudFix implements the fixer?
Yes. Model routes can be reverted simply by restoring the original API configuration or redeploying the prior model integration.

Can CloudFix implement the fix automatically once I accept the recommendation?
No. Model route changes must be implemented manually by the customer.

Does this fix require downtime?
No. API configuration changes can be deployed without service interruption, assuming standard CI/CD and deployment practices are followed.
