AWS guide runs Claude Code as a remote Bedrock agent
AWS Machine Learning Blog published a guide and sample for running Claude Code as a remote coding agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Each task runs in an isolated AgentCore Runtime session inside the user’s AWS account and returns a GitHub pull request for human review and merging. The sample also demonstrates private networking, short-lived credentials, least-privilege permissions and Amazon Bedrock data controls.
The guide provides an implementation pattern for handing coding tasks to isolated remote agents while retaining human approval before code is merged, though its security and capability claims come from AWS.
You might already run Claude Code locally on your laptop, backed by Amazon Bedrock. This post shows how to go a step further: run it as a remote agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a platform to build, connect, and optimize agents at scale, with any framework or model. The sample uses AgentCore runtime, a capability of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, so every task runs in its own isolated session inside your AWS account. You offload a coding task, close the laptop, and come back to the result.
We first discuss why teams choose Amazon Bedrock for Claude Code and highlight a few key security characteristics. Then, we discuss the remote agent architecture and walk through an accompanying sample, sample-remote-coding-agent, that implements it. The sample runs each task in its own AgentCore runtime session and returns a GitHub pull request for you to review and merge. Along the way, we show how the Amazon Bedrock data controls stay intact when a task runs remotely.
Why customers run Claude Code on Amazon Bedrock
Customers choose Amazon Bedrock as Claude Code’s model provider for many reasons. These include billing and credits through their existing AWS account with no per-seat licenses, audit logging in AWS CloudTrail, and geographic inference profiles for data residency. Amazon Bedrock also provides three valuable security characteristics:
