Side-by-side comparison of Amazon Bedrock Provisioned Throughput and Hugging Face Inference Endpoints for single-tenant LLM hosting. Deployment options, compliance, pricing, and operational fit compared.
Amazon Bedrock Provisioned Throughput
Provisioned Throughput reserves per-model capacity in Model Units (MUs), billed hourly with no-commitment, 1-month, or 6-month terms; required for serving customised models. AWS states Bedrock content is stored at rest in the Region of use and not shared with model providers. Example per-MU rates are published for some models; most quotes require an AWS account team.
Hugging Face Inference Endpoints
Deploys Hub models on managed instances across AWS, Azure, and GCP with public, protected, or private (intra-region AWS/Azure PrivateLink) access. Vendor docs state SOC 2 Type 2 certification and a GDPR DPA via Enterprise Hub subscription, and that payloads are not stored (logs kept 30 days). Privacy policy: data may be stored in the US.
