Claude API on AWS launches with native AWS endpoints and AWS-managed infrastructure

AI Impact Summary

Claude API will now run on Anthropic-managed infrastructure accessed through native AWS endpoints, with AWS billing and IAM authentication. This enables centralized access control and cost management within AWS ecosystems, while exposing the full Claude capability set (Messages, Files, Message Batches, Claude Managed Agents, Agent Skills, code execution, and tool use) via AWS endpoints. Technical teams should prepare for endpoint migrations, update credentials to use AWS IAM, and evaluate any region-specific latency or data residency implications as traffic routes through AWS. Migration should focus on updating base URLs, IAM policies, and billing integration to avoid service disruption.
