What this session is about
Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Claude Code on Bedrock embedded in daily engineering workflows. AI-first strategy across operations.
Why it matters
Engineering ops are where AI-native culture takes hold first; the rest of the org follows.
The hard parts
Adoption is uneven. Some teams take to it; others resist. Resistance reasons are often legitimate.
Playbook moves
(1) Track adoption per team, not aggregate. (2) Identify resistance reasons specifically — sometimes the resisters have a point. (3) Make the choice of Bedrock vs. SaaS LLM explicit and documented.
The surprise
The choice of Claude Code on Bedrock (vs. SaaS) isn't just compliance — it's *cost predictability*. Self-hosted inference at volume often beats per-token pricing once you cross a threshold. Run the numbers; the threshold may be lower than you expect.
