Claude Platform on AWS Generally Available — Single Account, Full Native API Access, CCU-Based Billing

AWS·high signal

Anthropic launched Claude Platform on AWS on May 11, making AWS the first cloud provider to offer the full native Claude experience (APIs, console, beta features) through existing AWS accounts with no separate contracts. Billing uses Claude Consumption Units at $0.01/CCU reported hourly through AWS Marketplace, with Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5 available across 17 global regions. This is a strategic distribution move: enterprise teams can now adopt Claude with zero procurement friction, and the consumption-based billing model directly undermines traditional per-seat SaaS licensing.
