Anthropic-managed Claude is generally available on Google Cloud. It uses Google Cloud IAM, application default credentials and consolidated billing while providing new Claude Platform features and betas on the same day. Unlike the Google-managed route, Anthropic is responsible for service operations and its commercial and data-processing terms apply. US and global endpoints mean organizations with strict regional requirements or Google-specific security integrations should compare the existing option. Discounts and cloud commitments should not be assumed to apply retroactively.
