Amazon Bedrock, a managed service for foundation models from top AI providers, now supports AWS IAM principal tags (users and roles) for inference requests made via the bedrock-mantle endpoint. This enhancement enables customers to analyze AI inference costs attributed to specific teams, projects, or applications through AWS Cost Explorer and Cost and Usage Report 2.0.

By activating IAM principal tags as cost allocation tags, organizations gain finer-grained visibility into AI workloads and associated expenses, aiding budget management and accountability. This feature is available in all AWS Regions offering bedrock-mantle and builds upon previous support for the bedrock-runtime endpoint.
