So is this effectively a way for aws customers to more easily access Claude code?

Claude itself was almost from the very beginning available in bedrock.

Might be for enterprise customers (with slow procurement departments) who already have AWS accounts but not Anthropic ones.

So then they could use Bedrock, no?

A lot of tools, community and Anthropic’s, have zero support for Bedrock.

Anthropic’s offerings for Bedrock lag behind their main platform by months, maybe up to a year or more.

Bedrock is both more expensive, less feature complete, and less reliable in terms of raw volume of 500 errors.
