AI · EU data residency · Amazon Bedrock
Frontier AI, without leaving the EU.
Buy Claude direct and your prompts are processed outside Europe. Through Cloud2 on Amazon Bedrock, the same Claude runs in an EU region, your data never touches US infrastructure, and every call is logged for your auditor. Same models, same tools, an EU boundary you can prove.
Where your AI runs is a compliance decision, not a detail.
For a regulated Nordic organisation, one question outranks the rest: where does our data actually get processed? Answer it wrong and it surfaces as a finding in your next audit, long after a quick fix would have solved it.
Buying Claude direct from Anthropic has no EU residency setting. Requests run on global infrastructure and storage is US-only. Even “Claude Platform on AWS” is operated by Anthropic and processed outside the AWS boundary. The reassuring part: you get the full model and keep your data in the EU. It comes down to a configuration you own, and a well-worn path we set up safely every week.
If your obligation is "data stays in the EU," only one path actually answers it.
The same Claude, processed inside the EU.
Through Cloud2 and Amazon Bedrock, Claude runs on AWS infrastructure in Europe. AWS processes the data and does not share it with Anthropic or any third party. No detour through US infrastructure.
Choose how strict you need to be. In-Region keeps every request inside a single region such as Stockholm or Ireland. EU Geo routes for capacity across Frankfurt, Paris, Stockholm, Ireland, Milan, Spain, Zurich and London, but never outside the EU. And you do not switch tools: Claude Code, the Cowork desktop app, and the SDK all point at Bedrock with one change of configuration.
Governance your auditor will accept.
You can prove this one, with a paper trail to match. Access runs through AWS IAM, content is filtered with Bedrock Guardrails, and every model call is logged in CloudTrail with the region and the principal that made it. An IAM policy can lock inference to EU-only profiles, so the boundary stops being a convention and becomes something you enforce and evidence on demand.Go deeper
The technical guide: Claude on AWS, the EU way
The full breakdown for the people who have to defend the decision: Bedrock In-Region versus EU Geo, the honest comparison against buying direct, the exact configuration for Claude Code, Cowork and the SDK, and the governance that turns it into an audited control.Why Cloud2.

Frequently asked questions
Can Claude really run with EU data residency?
How is this different from buying Claude direct from Anthropic?
us or global, and storage is US-only. The AWS path processes inside the EU and gives you IAM, Guardrails and CloudTrail. On residency, they are not close.
