Claude Platform on AWS gives you access to Anthropic's first-party platform — operated by Anthropic — but accessed through familiar AWS entry points: your existing IAM credentials, consolidated AWS billing, and CloudTrail audit logging. Customer data is processed by Anthropic outside the AWS boundary.
Claude on Amazon Bedrock keeps your data within AWS infrastructure. AWS processes your data and does not share it with Anthropic or any third party. It provides access to Claude models through a unified service with AWS-managed features like Guardrails, Knowledge Bases, and regional data residency.
Claude Platform on AWS is a good fit for customers who want Anthropic's native platform experience, including early access to beta features and developer tools. It keeps procurement simple with a single AWS bill, works with your existing IAM credentials and access controls, and gives your security team full visibility through CloudTrail audit logs alongside the rest of your AWS activity. This is also a good fit for organizations with no strict regional data residency requirements
If you have strict regional data residency requirements, need your data processed exclusively within AWS's infrastructure Claude on Bedrock is the right choice. It's also the best fit if you want AWS-managed features like Guardrails for content filtering, Knowledge Bases for RAG, or PrivateLink for network isolation — all without your data ever leaving AWS or being shared with any third party.
The data you provide, along with associated metadata, will be processed by Anthropic outside of AWS in a location of Anthropic's choosing. By using the service, you acknowledge this and authorize AWS to transfer that content and metadata to Anthropic for processing
Your use of Claude Platform on AWS is subject to Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service, Data Processing Addendum, Usage Policy, and any other agreements with Anthropic that govern your use of their services. See the AWS Service Terms for more information.
