They need to keep an emergency backup Claude to fix the production Claude when it goes down.

(More seriously I wonder if they'd consider using Openai or Gemini for this purpose)

Opus and Sonnet are still working fine in AWS Bedrock (and probably Google Vertex), so they genuinely do have an emergency backup Claude they can use.

AWS actually hosts the models. Security & isolation is part of the proposed value proposition for people and organizations that need to care about that sort of stuff.

It also allows for consolidated billing, more control over usage, being able to switch between providers and models easily, and more.

I typically don’t use Bedrock, but when I have it’s been fine. You can even use Claude Code with a Bedrock API key if you prefer

(I am not affiliated with AWS in any way. I’m just a user stuck in their ecosystem!)

		I’ve been using Claude Code w/ bedrock for the last few weeks and it’s been pretty seamless. Only real friction is authenticating with AWS prior to a session.

Bedrock runs all their stuff in house and doesn’t send any data elsewhere or train on it which is great for organizations who already have data governance sign off with AWS.

		I wonder how the supply chain risk designation affects this later.

Maybe they can use the ultimate backup...human programmers!
