Amazon Web Services announced availability of the Claude Platform on AWS on Monday, enabling customers to reach Anthropic’s native platform directly from their AWS accounts without setting up separate credentials or billing relationships.
The offering exposes the same suite of APIs and capabilities customers can access through Anthropic itself. That includes the Messages API, Claude Managed Agents, the advisor tool, web search and web fetch, the MCP connector, Agent Skills, code execution, and the files API. AWS is the first cloud provider to provide the native Claude Platform experience in this way.
Authentication and billing are handled through AWS. Users sign in with existing AWS IAM credentials and consumption is billed via AWS Marketplace on a usage basis. Activity carried out through the service is logged to AWS CloudTrail to support monitoring and auditing.
Operational control of the platform remains with Anthropic. The company operates the platform and processes requests and data outside the AWS security boundary. The integration is presented as complementary to Claude models available through Amazon Bedrock, giving customers multiple routes to access Anthropic’s capabilities.
Deployment and operational details are designed to support team and project separation. Customers create workspaces within the platform to isolate projects or business units while keeping billing centralized through their AWS account. Two authentication approaches are supported: IAM with AWS Signature Version 4, and API keys. AWS recommends using temporary IAM credentials where stronger security is required, and suggests API keys for initial testing or exploration.
The platform is compatible with Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and other API clients. Usage metrics and breakdowns are available in the Claude Console, with reporting by workspace, by AWS IAM principal, and by time period. Costs for the service appear alongside other cloud expenses in AWS Cost Explorer, and organizations can allocate spending using resource tags.
Claude Platform on AWS is available across 19 regions. The roll-out includes US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), South America (S e3o Paulo), multiple European locations, and several Asia Pacific regions including Tokyo, Seoul, Melbourne, Jakarta, and Sydney.
