AIF-C01 Practice Question 70: EU Data Residency Inference

AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) · Test 7 · question 10 of 10

Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutionsmedium

A European insurer calls Amazon Bedrock from eu-west-1 and wants the extra capacity and resilience that cross-Region inference provides during traffic spikes. Its regulator requires that inference requests are never processed outside the EU. Which configuration satisfies both requirements?

Select one answer
Show answer and explanation

Answer:

  • C. A geographic cross-Region inference profile for the EU, which routes requests within that geography

Amazon Bedrock offers two kinds of cross-Region inference profile. A geographic profile is *tied to a specific geography (such as US or EU)*, and Bedrock *automatically selects a commercial AWS Region within that geography to process your inference request*. AWS's own comparison table records data residency as *within geographic boundaries* and recommends choosing Geographic for compliance requirements, specifically *when you have data residency requirements and need to ensure data processing remains within specific geographic boundaries* (option C).

- A is wrong because a global profile routes to *any supported AWS commercial Region worldwide*. The roughly 10 percent saving is real, but AWS positions it for organisations *prioritizing cost optimization* without geographic restrictions, the opposite of this insurer's constraint. - B is wrong because staying in a single Region does keep processing in the EU, but it gives up exactly the cross-Region capacity the insurer asked for. It satisfies one requirement by abandoning the other. - D is wrong twice over: the global profile still routes worldwide, and AWS states that inference profiles currently don't support Provisioned Throughput, so the two cannot be combined in the first place.
