Amazon Bedrock now supports associating model inference costs with specific IAM users and roles via AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR 2.0) and Cost Explorer. Customers can tag IAM principals by team, project, or cost center and track expenses accordingly.

To use this, tags must be activated for cost allocation; cost data including caller identity can then be analyzed at detailed levels. This facilitates granular attribution of Bedrock-related expenses to users, improving financial governance of AI workloads across AWS regions where Bedrock is available.
