**For Google Vertex AI:**

| Variable                      | Value                                           |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX`      | `1`                                             |
| `CLOUD_ML_REGION`             | `global` (or a specific region like `us-east5`) |
| `ANTHROPIC_VERTEX_PROJECT_ID` | Your GCP project ID                             |

Prerequisites: Enable the Vertex AI API in your GCP project, request access to Claude models in the Model Garden, and authenticate via `gcloud auth application-default login`.

**For Amazon Bedrock:**

| Variable                  | Value                                  |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK` | `1`                                    |
| `AWS_REGION`              | `us-east-1` (or your preferred region) |

Prerequisites: Enable Bedrock access in your AWS account, request access to Claude models, and configure AWS credentials (via AWS CLI, environment variables, or SSO profile).

### **Benefits:**

* Use existing cloud credentials and billing
* Meet enterprise compliance requirements
* Choose the provider that fits your infrastructure
* No separate Anthropic API key required
