AWS brings Claude Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 to Bedrock in GovCloud (US), with Claude Code guidance for regulated workloads

What happened

AWS said Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 are available in Amazon Bedrock in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. It also explained how to use Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic coding tool, with these models to develop regulated and ITAR workloads in a compliant way.

Why it matters

The latest Claude models and an agentic coding tool can now be used in regulated settings such as the public sector and defense. This matters to practitioners in those fields.
