Claude Platform on AWS
- goldfish3 5mo agoWaiting for them to launch Google Claude Platform (GCP).
- breckenedge 5mo agoNice, might give managed agents a try now.
- whatever1 5mo agoSo is this effectively a way for aws customers to more easily access Claude code? Claude itself was almost from the very beginning available in bedrock.
- wafisher 5mo agoMight be for enterprise customers (with slow procurement departments) who already have AWS accounts but not Anthropic ones.
- LPisGood 5mo agoSo then they could use Bedrock, no?
- harrall 5mo agoA lot of tools, community and Anthropic’s, have zero support for Bedrock. Anthropic’s offerings for Bedrock lag behind their main platform by months, maybe up to a year or more.
- ZeroCool2u 5mo agoBedrock is both more expensive, less feature complete, and less reliable in terms of raw volume of 500 errors.

- ldoughty 5mo ago> The Claude Platform on AWS is a first of its kind offering for Anthropic, giving you all native Claude API features from day one. Anthropic operates the service and data is processed outside the AWS boundary. So it's not... On AWS... ? This statement sounds.... Backwards? I get they have another option that is in AWS, but this continues the cryptic naming problem AWS already is overloaded with

- xyzzy123 5mo agoI think the idea is that you can launder your team or product AI spend through your AWS account. This matters in Enterprise. It looks like the difference with Bedrock is that you access more "Claude platform" stuff than just the model. More charitably, this lets an org heavy on AWS use their existing IAM / SSO / Finops processes to manage Claude stuff, this is genuinely helpful when otherwise you have to go thru several teams and build out whole new rails to adopt.
- zmmmmm 5mo agoyes it sounds like a hack to get access to untracked spend in corporate accounts. In my org, I have to file a form for reimbursement if I bought a pencil for $0.25 but in AWS? spend varies by +/- $5k per month and nobody even questions it. This will definitely make it trivially easy for me to build on Anthropic's services without even telling anybody vs the hoops I would have to jump to get it paid for another way.
- wafflerewire 5mo agoThis is my day job. I couldn't get access to the Claude Platform even with a business goal justification because of the management overhead while having Anthropic model access with Bedrock. Through AWS, assuming the underlying data governance is reasonable, this will be a much easier pill to swallow.
- stingraycharles 5mo ago
- notaharvardmba 5mo agoIt allows one to conveniently hide your claude expense in your big ass AWS bill.
- nijave 5mo agoI tried that with Bedrock but Claude models are billed through Marketplace and generate a completely separate invoice. Suspect this is probably the same.
- notaharvardmba 5mo agoNeed to just pay all your other vendors through marketplace too!
- nryoo 5mo agoSo what's the good point?
- Jabrov 5mo agoHide some of your ballooning AI spend behind your ballooning AWS bill
- SilverElfin 5mo agoCouldn’t you already do that with Claude via AWS?
- rohansood15 5mo agoBut you couldn't do it with the Claude app or the recently announced Claude Managed Agents I think.
- dodu_ 5mo agoBut then how would I be able to brag about how much I'm doing the AI?
- walrus01 5mo agoDon't worry, you can still get on linkedin and write a bragging post about how many tokens your engineers are spending.
- niwtsol 5mo agoSo claude.bedrock is where you run if you want complete data privacy, this - claude.aws - is just claude on/in AWS - is that the right core difference?
- xyst 5mo agoHow to obscure your wasteful LLM usage behind your already massive AWS expenditure with this one tip.
- vivzkestrel 5mo agothis is a bad bad idea people, i highly recommend not falling for this one. You dont wanna see your production database get deleted by mistake or spawn 464135453452 ec2 instances due to a mistake in autoscaling configuration
- Jabrov 5mo agoI think you might have misunderstood the headline and maybe not read the article, because that's not really relevant to what's being announced here
- cavemanDigAI 5mo agoInteresting timing - been building with Claude API locally and hit AWS infra questions. Anyone know if this solves cross-region failover? Main pain point I have is US vs EU latency differences when running agents in parallel. Local orchestration helps but cloud fallback would be useful.
- geedelgado 5mo agoMight be good?
- SilverElfin 5mo agoIs this a bunch of AI coded slop? I feel like everyone should be skeptical of how quickly Anthropic is throwing random things out there. Why would anyone use this instead of using Claude directly on AWS?
- 8note 5mo agoanthropic and aws have been pretty close from the start i think the more interesting part is that anthropic is to aws what target was to amazon this feels like there's a coming 5-10 year change from aws acting as a cloud, to being a cloud entrypoint/marketplace, separately from the cloud marketplace they already have as cfn snippets you can deploy
- rohansood15 5mo agoUmm, why could this not just be Claude on AWS marketplace? Seems intentionally deceitful.
- robot-wrangler 5mo ago> The Claude Platform on AWS .. giving you all native Claude API features .. Anthropic operates the service and data is processed outside the AWS boundary. This is a good option for companies that want the full Claude Platform experience. Does seem to be mostly about billing like others said. But it might mean cloudformation / terraform providers for claude-platform, guess that's nice. It might make strict networking/firewall things slightly easier somehow. But for everyone who thinks the new offering is about jurisdictional matters, it's not, that's the old one: > Claude on Amazon Bedrock keeps AWS as the data processor and operates within the AWS boundary. This is a good fit for companies that have strict regional data residency requirements or need their data processed exclusively within AWS's infrastructure.
- jahller 5mo agoit's mostly about procurement. a lot of companies use AWS IAM for single sign on in a multitude of services.
- pbgcp2026 5mo ago"mostly about billing" NO. People, this is about your data.
- jahller 5mo agohow so? the data stays with Anthropic
- skywhopper 5mo agoWhat exactly do you think is happening here? The customers using this already have a trust relationship with both Amazon and Anthropic.
- ceuk 5mo agoA little startup I'm part of is on the AWS startup program giving us £10k in AWA credits so the more we can "proxy" through AWS the better. We already heavily rely on anthropic models via Bedrock but I'll be interested to see if the tok/s throughout is better on this new service (or worse). To be honest though after a quick skim, I'm unclear what other advantages this might offer over Bedrock where we can already access the models including vision etc. Will it be worth refactoring our services, all our terraform etc? Unclear at this stage, especially since Bedrock allows us to use more than just the anthropic models if needed
- albert_e 5mo agoAre you sure those credits apply to this usage. Many forms of AWS credits dont cover usage of Claude models on Amazon Bedrock for instance, as all of them are billed as third party / marketplace consumption.
- bdavbdav 5mo agoOurs have done in other similar bedrock programs.
- ceuk 5mo agoYeah it's included
- peteridah 5mo agoI recently received AWS startup credits and claude models via AWS Bedrock are included.
- mfro 5mo agoBuilder credits apply to every AWS service I've tried.
- Manouchehri 5mo agoIt’s included for Claude models on Bedrock. Initially that wasn’t the case, until April 2024. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/startups/aws-activate-credits-now-accepted-for-third-party-models-on-amazon-bedrock/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/startups/aws-activate-credits-n...

- nadermx 5mo agoHow's this work? Like if I want to self host claude on my gpu's? Do I just pay a one time lease?
- monkpit 5mo agoThis offering is purely a billing formality, not a way to run inference on your hardware.
- abhik24 5mo agoSo confusing. Are they with AWS for the checkout? Because none of sentences make sense to me
- hibikir 5mo agoThere's companies out there with mid 8, possibly low 9 figure monthly AWS bills. In that world, letting people pay through said AWS pipeline gets rid of so much red tape. Supporting Bedrock was already a big winner vs OpenAI in the race for big enterprise, and Anthropic desperately wants to find any way to be sticky, as opposed to risking companies flipping a switch and telling entire departments to switch to any future codex + GPT on Bedrock plans. The harder it is for you to migrate, the better for Anthropic.
- martinald 5mo agoI get this, but isn't this a complete compliance failure? What's the point of having all those loops to onboard vendors if you can just buy from AWS marketplace (which AFIAK is not a particularly high bar to achieve for SaaS options)? Like imagine $POOR_QUALITY_VENDOR. If they go through the normal channels they might get shot down. If they get procured on AWS Marketplace, then it feels to me in many organisations 'its fine', though AWS does minimal checking?
- skywhopper 5mo agoYes. You can pay your Anthropic bill thru AWS, and use AWS access controls to manage access to Anthropic APIs. For companies all in on AWS this lowers the friction to adopt Anthropic tools significantly.
- SegfaultSeagull 5mo ago"Claude in the cloud" has a nice ring to it.
- tukHelix 5mo agoIt sounds like an “official” Anthropic API billed from an AWS account?
- mt_ 5mo agoIt is

- haltonlabs 5mo ago[flagged]
- ninjahawk1 5mo agoI wonder how Anthropic will adjust their models as local models compete more closely with API models.
- aurareturn 5mo agoProbably not for another 5-10 years that it matters. Right now, local LLMs are too expensive to run and not smart enough to matter much.
- pbgcp2026 5mo agoAnthropic operates the service and data is processed outside the AWS boundary.

- Galanwe 5mo agoI dont think this is about billing as other comments mentioned. AWS bedrock already does that. I think AWS proposes to host actual agents, meaning you can customize their MCP servers, have them fetch and issue arbitrary requests, etc. Essentially a hosted minimal harness. This is very much needed, as a form of "hosted claude code", allowing you to actually have the agent code, push, test from e.g. your phone.
- fnordpiglet 5mo agoBedrock provides model inference as well as a few hosted things like agent core. This certainly provides more than bedrock, but it implies inference while fronted by aws policy and management will be farmed out to spacex and other providers. Anthropic already announced managed agents prior to this. I would note that I don’t think I would lean towards Anthropic (operating with one 9 currently) over aws (operating with an implied 5 9’s within a region and arbitrary 9’s by composing across regions). Anthropic makes good models. They’ve yet to prove they make good operations.
- Lucasoato 5mo ago> Claude Platform on AWS will be available in most AWS commercial regions and support global and U.S. inference geographies. Isn't there the possibility to have EU-based inference?
- submeta 5mo agoI use Claude Code, the max plan, for 200$ a month. Privately. So if I convince my peers at work to use this, will it cost significantly more? Because it's token usage based? Not flat rate? And if so, how much more? I think I burned through 400m tokens in two months in Codex. Can someone shed on light on this?
- c-fe 5mo agowill claude platform on aws offer the same nerfed (dumb) opus 4.5/4.6/4.7 of the recent weeks, or will it be possible to use opus 4.5/4.6 from february/march?
- noashavit 5mo agoInteresting move in to fully managed service by Anthropic.
- steveharing1 5mo agoAt least now we can expect more usage limits.

- giancarlostoro 5mo agoI hope Azure is next. I would love to ask my employer to finally get this...
