Enforce Data Residency for Claude Code on Amazon Bedrock
Key takeaways
- Data residency is a critical concern for AI deployments in regulated sectors.
- Amazon Bedrock offers mechanisms to enforce single-Region inference for models like Claude Code.
- IAM Region conditions are essential for granular access control and compliance.
- AWS CloudTrail provides audit trails to verify data residency enforcement.
Who benefits
Summary
This post demonstrates two methods for ensuring Claude Code inferences on Amazon Bedrock are processed within a single AWS Region, crucial for regulated customers. It covers using an application inference profile or the Mantle endpoint combined with an IAM Region condition, and verifying compliance via AWS CloudTrail.
Why it matters
Professionals in regulated industries must ensure their AI deployments comply with strict data residency laws, preventing legal and reputational risks.
How to implement this in your domain
- 1Identify specific data residency requirements for your AI applications.
- 2Choose between an application inference profile or the Mantle endpoint for regional pinning.
- 3Apply an IAM Region condition to restrict Claude Code access to the desired AWS Region.
- 4Configure and test the chosen method to ensure all inferences occur in the specified region.
- 5Regularly audit AWS CloudTrail logs to verify ongoing compliance with data residency policies.
