Deployment Options

1. Claude API (First-Party) — Anthropic Hosted

simplest → most control
Claude API → Claude Platform on AWS → Bedrock → Vertex AI

• Best for: Quick startup, standard workloads, global access
• Billing: Per-token via Anthropic Console
• Infrastructure: Anthropic-managed
• Data residency: US-only via inference_geo: "us" parameter (1.1x pricing on Opus 4.6+)

2. Claude Platform on AWS

• Best for: AWS-native organizations wanting direct billing
• Billing: Claude Consumption Units (CCU) via AWS Marketplace ($0.01/CCU)
• Infrastructure: Co-managed — Anthropic serves, AWS bills
• Key benefit: Single AWS bill, enterprise procurement, private offers

Token usage → USD pricing → CCU conversion → AWS Marketplace billing → Monthly invoice
                 |                              |
                 At standard API rates     $0.01 per CCU

3. Amazon Bedrock

• Best for: AWS organizations needing VPC-level security
• Infrastructure: AWS-hosted, within your VPC
• Features: IAM integration, CloudTrail, VPC endpoints, KMS encryption
• Endpoints: Global (dynamic routing) and regional (data residency guarantee)

Model on Bedrock	Global Endpoint	Regional Endpoint
Claude Opus 4.8	Standard pricing	10% premium
Claude Sonnet 4.6	Standard pricing	10% premium

4. Vertex AI (Google Cloud)

• Best for: GCP-native organizations
• Infrastructure: Google-hosted
• Endpoints: Global, multi-region, and regional
• Features: IAM integration, Cloud Logging, VPC Service Controls

5. Microsoft Foundry

• Best for: Azure-native organizations
• Infrastructure: Microsoft-managed
• Features: Azure AD integration, Azure Monitor

Data Privacy & Security

Zero-Retention API

Enterprise customers can enable zero-retention for the API:

• Prompts and completions are NOT stored
• Data is NOT used for model training
• Data is NOT used to improve Anthropic services
• Audit logs confirm zero-retention status per request

Compliance

Standard	Status	Notes
SOC 2 Type II	✅ Certified	Annual audit, report available to enterprise customers
HIPAA	✅ Eligible	BAA available for covered entities
GDPR	✅ Compliant	Data processing agreements, EU hosting options
CCPA	✅ Compliant	Data subject access requests supported
ISO 27001	In progress	Certification in review

Data Residency

For Opus 4.6+, Sonnet 4.6+, and later models:

# US-only inference (1.1x pricing multiplier)
client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    inference_geo="us",  # Routes to US data centers only
    ...
)
# Global routing (default, standard pricing): inference_geo="global"

Cost Comparison — Deployment Options

Scenario	API (First-Party)	AWS Bedrock	Vertex AI
Per-token cost	Standard rates	Standard + 10% (regional)	Standard + 10% (regional)
Billing integration	Anthropic Console	AWS bill	GCP bill
Setup time	Minutes	Hours (AWS config)	Hours (GCP config)
Security model	Anthropic-managed	VPC-level (IAM + KMS)	VPC-level (IAM)
Best for	Quick start	AWS-native, compliance-heavy	GCP-native
Prompt caching	✅	✅ (cache writes only)	✅ (cache writes only)
