View on XAnthropic Launches Claude Platform on AWS to Retire Enterprise Cloud Commitments
Claude· Updated
Anthropic moved the Claude Platform on AWS into general availability, allowing enterprises to access the native Claude API through their existing AWS infrastructure. The update provides day-one access to the latest models and agentic features while allowing usage to count toward AWS spending commitments.
Anthropic launched the Claude Platform on AWS in general availability today, a deployment model bringing the native Claude API experience into the AWS ecosystem. Unlike standard integrations, Anthropic operates this service, offering immediate access to models like
Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Haiku 4.5.- Models
- Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Haiku 4.5
- Authentication
- AWS IAM
- Logging
- AWS CloudTrail
- Billing
- AWS Invoice (Commitment retirement)
- Features
- Managed Agents, MCP connector, Code execution, and more
This shift solves the "feature lag" found in cloud-managed services like Amazon Bedrock. By providing day-one parity, enterprises can now deploy Claude Managed Agents and use native memory layers. It also allows organizations to retire AWS financial commitments by spending pre-allocated budgets on frontier AI capabilities.
You can now build with tools like Claude Code, the MCP connector (MCP: an open standard for connecting AI to tools), and code execution. Authentication uses AWS IAM (IAM: a framework for managing digital identities), and billing is consolidated into a single AWS invoice. The service is available today in most commercial regions.
Still wondering? A few quick answers below.
The Claude Platform on AWS is a deployment model that allows AWS customers to access Anthropic's native API features directly through their existing cloud infrastructure. Unlike standard integrations, Anthropic operates this service, providing day-one access to new models and features while using AWS for authentication, audit logging, and consolidated billing.
While both allow AWS customers to build with Claude, the Claude Platform on AWS is operated by Anthropic and offers full feature parity with the native Claude API. In contrast, Amazon Bedrock is operated by AWS, which acts as the data processor and keeps all data processing strictly within the AWS infrastructure boundary.
This platform includes native features like Claude Managed Agents for scaling autonomous systems, the Model Context Protocol connector for external data, and code execution for running Python. It also supports prompt caching to reduce costs, citations for grounding responses, and the Files API for document management across different AI conversations.
Usage is billed through a single AWS invoice, allowing organizations to track AI spending alongside other cloud services. Crucially, this spending counts toward retiring existing AWS financial commitments. Customers with existing Bedrock private offers should contact their account executives to ensure discounts are correctly applied to this new platform.
At launch, the platform provides access to Claude Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5. Because the service offers day-one parity with Anthropic's native API, all new models and beta features will become available on the Claude Platform on AWS the same day they are released on the standard Claude API.
