AWS Bedrock

Use your existing AWS infrastructure and enterprise agreements to access Claude. Your API calls route through your VPC, governed by your security policies.

What You Get

  • Consolidated billing under your AWS account
  • Compliance with infrastructure your security team has already approved
  • No new vendor relationships or procurement cycles
  • Extended context windows up to 1M tokens on supported models

What You Can Do

  • Access Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Haiku, and Opus models
  • Use your existing AWS IAM policies for access control
  • Route requests through your VPC endpoints
  • Track usage in AWS Cost Explorer alongside other services

Prerequisites

  • AWS account with Bedrock access enabled
  • IAM credentials (access key + secret) with Bedrock permissions
  • Claude models enabled in your Bedrock console

Required IAM Permissions

Your IAM user or role needs these permissions:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "bedrock:InvokeModel",
        "bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:bedrock:*::foundation-model/anthropic.*"
    }
  ]
}

Setup

  1. Navigate to Settings → General → API Configuration
  2. Select AWS Bedrock as your provider
  3. Enter your AWS credentials:
    • Access Key ID
    • Secret Access Key
    • Region (e.g., us-east-1)
  4. Click Test Connection
  5. Save your configuration

Example Uses

Once configured, Sasha uses Bedrock automatically for all conversations:

"Analyze this quarterly report and summarize the key findings"

"Review this code for security vulnerabilities"

"Help me draft a response to this customer inquiry"

Cost Management

Monitor usage through:

  • AWS Cost Explorer - Filter by Bedrock service
  • AWS Budgets - Set alerts for Bedrock spending
  • Sasha Reports - View token usage by user and session
