Descriptions:
AWS developer advocate Antonio Rodriguez presents a hands-on session on deploying Claude applications to production on Amazon Web Services, covering the full spectrum from Bedrock API integration to the newly generally available Claude Platform on AWS. The session was recorded shortly after Claude Platform on AWS launched, making it one of the earliest structured explanations of how that offering differs from direct Bedrock API access: the Platform option routes inference to Anthropic while handling access control and consolidated billing through AWS, whereas Bedrock keeps everything within the AWS boundary with zero operator access to model instances.
Rodriguez outlines three deployment paths: the Bedrock API (which now includes Claude Opus 4.7 with the Messages API), Claude Platform on AWS, and custom integrations using AWS identity providers like Okta or Microsoft Entra ID via IAM roles. He covers compliance certifications including HIPAA and FedRAMP, private link configurations that keep all traffic off the public internet, and observability through CloudWatch and CloudTrail. The session also explains the hardware layer: Amazon’s third-generation Trainium chips power Claude inference in Bedrock, and Project Rainier is identified as one of the largest AI compute infrastructures built specifically for Anthropic model training and hosting.
The partnership context is notable — Rodriguez states Amazon has made a multi-billion dollar investment in Anthropic, that Anthropic has committed over $100 billion in AWS usage, and that AWS is Anthropic’s primary cloud provider. Attendees received free AWS accounts to complete a guided workshop alongside the presentation.
