Claude Apps Gateway for AWS (aws.amazon.com)

Anthropic has announced the launch of the Claude apps gateway for AWS, a self-hosted control plane designed to streamline access, cost management, and policy enforcement for enterprises using Claude Code and Claude Desktop. This centralized solution addresses the challenges of managing individual credentials and settings across development teams, allowing organizations to maintain governance more effectively. The gateway can be easily deployed via Amazon Bedrock, ensuring compliance with AWS security protocols, or through the Claude Platform on AWS for a seamless Anthropic experience. The Claude apps gateway integrates with any OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider, automatically applying managed settings at sign-in while tracking usage through a secure telemetry system. It centralizes five key responsibilities: authentication, policy enforcement, usage telemetry, routing of inference requests, and management of spending caps. By eliminating long-lived secrets from developer machines and facilitating a simple sign-in process that incorporates single sign-on (SSO), the gateway enhances security and simplifies workflow. This innovation allows for greater scalability of AI tool adoption within organizations, thereby fostering efficient development and collaboration within the AI/ML community while ensuring robust governance and cost control.
