Provision additional throughput for your agent's model

Amazon Bedrock Agents Classic availability

You can no longer sign up for Amazon Bedrock Agents (now Amazon Bedrock Agents Classic). If you already use Agents Classic, you can continue to use it.

For more information about building code-defined agents with the Strands Agents SDK, see Get started with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. For more information about Agents Classic, see Amazon Bedrock Agents Classic maintenance mode.

To increase the rate and number of tokens that the agent can process during model inference, associate a Provisioned Throughput that you've purchased for the model that your agent is using. To learn more about Provisioned Throughput and how to purchase it, see Increase model invocation capacity with Provisioned Throughput in Amazon Bedrock.

You can associate a Provisioned Throughput when you create or update an agent alias. In the Amazon Bedrock console, you choose the Provisioned Throughput when setting up the alias or editing it. In the Amazon Bedrock API, you specify the provisionedThroughput in the routingConfiguration when you send a CreateAgentAlias or UpdateAgentAlias; request.
