> 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.
"mostly about billing" NO. People, this is about your data.
it's mostly about procurement. a lot of companies use AWS IAM for single sign on in a multitude of services.
