Kiro is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) regions, enabling government agencies and contractors to use Kiro within their compliance boundaries.
GovCloud Authentication
Authenticate using AWS IAM Identity Center with a GovCloud Start URL (containing us-gov-home). Kiro uses the same installer for both commercial and GovCloud regions—IAM Identity Center authentication automatically routes traffic to the appropriate region. Individual login methods like GitHub, Google, and AWS Builder ID are not available in GovCloud regions. Learn more ->
Inference Routing
For GovCloud customers, inference requests are processed using Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-West). Your content remains stored in the region where your Kiro profile was created, with all cross-
region communication encrypted via TLS 1.2+. Learn more ->
