Running OpenAI Codex on Amazon Bedrock: Three Enterprise Rollout Paths

At a glance

Developers are using Codex to read and change code. This guide explains how companies can bring Codex in through Amazon Bedrock, AWS's AI model service. The key is fitting it into existing AWS security settings instead of building a separate access system.

Key points

1. 1

   Codex keeps running on the developer's computer and only sends model requests to Amazon Bedrock.

2. 2

   The simplest start is a small pilot with AWS native access and the fewest permissions needed.

3. 3

   AgentCore Gateway suits teams that want AWS-managed routing and guardrails (safety limits on AI responses).

4. 4

   An LLM Gateway suits companies that want to set their own rules on requests as they pass through.

Why it matters

Before rolling out an AI coding tool widely, a company needs to decide who can use it, which models are allowed, and how usage is recorded. This guide compares the options.
