AWS published a guide for routing ChatGPT desktop and Codex inference through Bedrock in us-gov-west-1 with IAM controls.
AWS published a configuration walkthrough that routes ChatGPT desktop app inference through Amazon Bedrock Mantle in us-gov-west-1 for AWS GovCloud (US). The setup covers Work for multi-step tasks and Codex for coding work, and it relies on IAM and existing GovCloud network controls to govern access.
OpenAI supplies the frontier models behind Work and Codex, while AWS provides Bedrock inference, IAM identity controls, and Regional processing in GovCloud. Organizations can use the ChatGPT desktop app, the Codex CLI, and IDE integrations with Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, and Xcode. AWS bills per token instead of seat licenses or per-developer commitments, and the setup supports zero data retention.
Builders and operators gain a controlled path for sending prompts and responses through an approved Bedrock endpoint while network restrictions block other external connections and network-enabled capabilities. The configuration uses API-mode sign-in, a managed device policy, and a named AWS profile. Zero data retention keeps prompts and responses out of durable AWS storage and prevents sharing with model providers.
Agency security teams can test and document the local deployment before they approve broader use. AWS warns that GovCloud and the guide do not by themselves authorize a workload, so organizations must review the chosen model, services, Region, endpoint, workstation controls, repositories, credentials, and data flows against their system security plan.
What matters
- AWS now supports the ChatGPT desktop app on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US).
- Builders can route Codex inference through IAM-governed Bedrock endpoints in us-gov-west-1.
- Agency security teams can test the documented local deployment before approving broader use.
