The Claude Platform on AWS provides developers and enterprises access to Anthropic’s AI tools, including APIs, console interfaces, and beta features, without separate account management. Operated by Anthropic, the platform processes customer data outside AWS’s security boundary but supports AWS IAM credential use and consolidated billing.

Features such as Claude Managed Agents, web search, code execution, and prompt caching extend AI development capabilities. Availability spans many AWS global regions, offering users a streamlined method to leverage Anthropic’s native AI experience within the AWS ecosystem. This marks AWS as the first cloud provider to enable integrated Claude Platform access.
