This walkthrough is intended for organizations whose security architecture requires model inference to use AWS GovCloud (US) identities, endpoints, and Regional controls. Codex is the OpenAI coding agent for AI-powered software development.

You can use the ChatGPT desktop app, the Codex CLI (a text interface where commands are typed rather than clicked), and IDE (the program a developer writes and runs code in) integrations with Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, and Xcode. Model inference is routed through the Responses API (the interface one piece of software uses to talk to another) on Amazon Bedrock.

For customers with data residency requirements, processing stays within the Amazon Bedrock AWS Region that you select. You pay per token with no seat licenses and no per-developer commitments.

Zero data retention (ZDR) is also supported. In this configurable mode, prompts and responses are processed without being written to durable storage by AWS or shared with model providers.
