Under the arrangement, developers can access services such as the Messages API, Claude Managed Agents, web search and web fetch, code execution, prompt caching, batch processing, the Files API, MCP connector, Skills, and the Claude Console directly through AWS credentials and billing systems.
Anthropic said the platform is designed for organizations that want the company’s native development experience while continuing to use AWS identity management, billing, and auditing infrastructure.
“This will now give developers access to all of the same APIs and features that were previously only available through Anthropic directly on AWS and with their AWS credentials,” the company said.
Unlike Claude models accessed through Amazon Bedrock, however, Claude Platform on AWS operates outside AWS’s primary security boundary. Anthropic continues to run the underlying platform infrastructure itself, while AWS handles authentication, billing, IAM permissions, and CloudTrail audit logging.
AWS said the setup is intended for development teams and enterprises that do not have strict regional data residency requirements. Companies needing those controls may still prefer accessing Claude through Amazon Bedrock, where data remains fully inside AWS infrastructure boundaries.
The release expands a broader collaboration between Anthropic and AWS first announced in April. As part of that partnership, Anthropic agreed to make Claude Platform available through AWS infrastructure while also committing to purchase more than $100 billion in AWS compute capacity over the next decade.
The deal also gives Anthropic expanded access to AWS Trainium chips and as much as 5 gigawatts of infrastructure capacity as the company scales model training and deployment.
Pricing for Claude Platform on AWS matches Anthropic’s direct pricing structure, according to AWS.
The platform is now available across multiple AWS regions, including U.S., Canadian, European, South American, and Asia-Pacific data centers.
The rollout reflects intensifying competition among cloud providers to integrate frontier AI systems more deeply into enterprise infrastructure. Microsoft has tightly integrated OpenAI models into Azure, while Google continues expanding Gemini through Vertex AI. AWS, which has historically taken a more partner-oriented approach to AI infrastructure, is now positioning Anthropic’s Claude ecosystem more directly inside its cloud platform.
For enterprises already operating heavily within AWS, the integration simplifies adoption by allowing AI tools, authentication, monitoring, and billing to remain inside existing operational workflows rather than requiring separate vendor management.
