Diagnose a Cost-per-Workflow Regression on AWS

In this lab, you'll investigate an unexpected increase in the cost of completed Amazon Bedrock workflows using pre-seeded workflow telemetry that you query with Amazon Athena. You'll: - Calculate cost per completed workflow before and after a deployment - Identify the routing regression that raised the unit cost - Restore a cost-efficient model route for standard requests - Run a live evaluation to confirm the lower-cost model meets both the unit-cost and answer-quality requirements

    • Submit your diagnosis and the values that support it.
  2. Challenge

    Correct the model route
    • Compare the available models against the lab's unit-cost requirement.
    • Return standard requests to Amazon Nova Micro while keeping complex requests on Amazon Nova Pro.
    • Confirm that the corrected route meets the cost requirement.
  3. Challenge

    Verify cost and answer quality
    • Run a live evaluation of the corrected route against 16 support-ticket test cases.
    • Compare classification accuracy and unit cost with the Nova Pro baseline and the lab's requirements.
    • Submit a short summary of what changed, what it fixed, and the evidence behind it.
