Scope, evidence and limits

Description: The cloud provider named in Anthropic’s September 2023 announcement.

The records are grouped automatically. No human inspection of the selected claims, source paths or framing is recorded for this dossier. Each source passage shows how it was checked.

The dossier is computed from existing records. It is not a continuous history of the institution, and a missing record does not mean that an event or relationship did not happen. The chronology uses the dates of events and reports, not the date the public could first have known of them. Later sources can describe earlier events.

Select any statement to see its exact claim, qualification, date note, evidence passage, location in the source, source version and review status. The description above is Selekoa’s stored description of the institution, based on these sources:

Chronology

Records about the institution itself and documented changes to its frameworks, by year. Expand a year to read the claims. People’s other institutional records and related documents have their own sections. Where a date gives only the year or month, the order within it is unknown.

    Record about this institution · Stated in source · Supported

    Stage: announced

    Non-exclusivity coexists with AWS primary-provider status. It does not establish easy switching, provider shares or absence of dependence. The CMA decision did not decide material influence.

    Dated description of contractual terms, not an inferred signing date or current arrangement.
