Configure the ChatGPT desktop app with Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US)
TL;DR
The ChatGPT desktop app is now available on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US). This post walks through a controlled local deployment that routes model inference to Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-West) using API-mode sign-in, a managed device policy, a named AWS profile, and network restrictions, so a security team can validate it before broader use.
Nauti's Take
For small teams, the controlled pilot is the part worth testing first: verify the dedicated AWS profile, allowed network destinations, and logging with a limited test dataset. Before wider rollout, security should confirm which app functions actually use Bedrock and whether any data is processed outside the expected GovCloud region.
