AWS has outlined how organizations can run Claude Code on Amazon Bedrock while enforcing that model inference stays inside a single AWS Region. The guidance is aimed at compliance cases where “somewhere in a geography” is not enough and prompts, completions, and intermediate processing must remain in a named Region.
The post describes two paths. The newer Mantle endpoint serves Claude through Anthropic’s native API shape and can route directly to a selected Region where supported. The classic Bedrock Invoke API requires an application inference profile that points to the in-Region foundation model, combined with IAM conditions that restrict allowed Regions.
AWS notes that cross-Region inference remains the better default for most Bedrock workloads because it improves capacity and availability and can provide earlier access to newer models. The single-Region setup is for stricter residency requirements.
The useful detail for compliance teams is verification. The pattern includes checking AWS CloudTrail so teams can confirm where calls were processed, not merely where a client sent requests from.
