PRODUCTION SCENARIO
A media company will run a two-week pilot of an Amazon Bedrock model at a steady volume that on-demand quotas cannot sustain. The account team quotes Provisioned Throughput at an hourly rate with no commitment, with a one-month commitment, and with a six-month commitment.
Which purchase option will meet the pilot's requirements at the lowest total cost?

Show answer and explanation
Answer: Provisioned Throughput with no commitment term
A longer commitment lowers the hourly price, but a one-month or six-month Provisioned Throughput cannot be deleted before its term ends, and billing continues until it is deleted. The no-commitment option costs more per hour yet can be deleted the day the two-week pilot finishes, so it avoids paying for weeks of unused capacity.
