AWS bedrock documentation change

Service: bedrock · 2025-05-03 · Documentation low

File: bedrock/latest/userguide/prequisites-model-distillation.md

Summary

Restructured documentation to add detailed model support matrix, cross-region inference requirements, and provisioned throughput notes. Added specific model IDs, regions, and provider pairings for distillation.

Security assessment

Added documentation about required service role permissions for cross-region inference profiles and model access restrictions. While these relate to security configuration, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability. The changes provide operational security guidance rather than patching a security issue.

+For Model Distillation, you choose a teacher and student model.

+  * **Choose a teacher model**
+
+Choose a teacher model that's significantly larger and more capable than the student model, and whose accuracy you want to achieve for your use case. To make distillation more effective, choose a model that's already trained on tasks similar to your use case. 
+
+For some teacher models, you can choose a Cross-Region inference profile ([Increase throughput with cross-Region inference](./cross-region-inference.html)). Cross-Region inference automatically selects the optimal AWS Region within your geography to process your inference request. This improves customer experience by maximizing available resources and model availability. To use a Cross-Region inference profile, your service role must have permissions to invoke the inference profile in an AWS Region, in addition to the model in each Region in the inference profile. For a policy example, see [(Optional) Permissions to create a Distillation job with a cross-region inference profile](./custom-model-job-access-security.html#custom-models-cross-region-inference-profile-permissions).

+Choose a student model that's significantly smaller in size than the teacher model. The student model must be one of the student models paired with your teacher model in the following table.

+## Supported models and Regions for Amazon Bedrock Model Distillation
+
+The following table shows which models and AWS Regions Amazon Bedrock Model Distillation supports for teacher and student models. If you use a Cross Region Inference Profile, only System Inference Profiles are supported for model distillation. For more information, see [Increase throughput with cross-Region inference](./cross-region-inference.html).

+
+  * You must buy [provisioned throughput](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prov-throughput.html) to be able to perofrm inference with the distilled model.
+
+  * For Claude and Llama models, the distillation job is run in US West (Oregon). You can either buy [provisioned throughput](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prov-throughput.html) in US West (Oregon) or [copy distilled model](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/copy-model.html) to another Region and then buy [provisioned throughput](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prov-throughput.html).
+
+  * For Nova models, you run distillation job in US East (N. Virginia). For inference, you need to buy [provisioned throughput](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prov-throughput.html) in US East (N. Virginia). You can't copy Nova models to other Regions.
