The October 22 launch adds Google Cloud IAM access and billing for Claude Platform capabilities, including long-running agents. Anthropic operates this offering; the existing Google-managed option remains separate.

What changes for users

Before moving a support workflow, check the operator, data requirements and unsupported features. Plan resource migration and explicit session shutdown during offboarding; verify these controls in a contained evaluation before shifting customer traffic.

A shared key branches toward two separate gateways and distinct workspaces.

Anthropic says the offering supports Claude Managed Agents, computer use, code execution and an MCP connector. Managed Agents and the connector retain their beta status. The launch describes US and Global endpoint availability.

Vendor-reportedChecked: [launch]

The setup guide creates a new Anthropic organization rather than converting an existing one. Stored files, skills and agent resources stay in the old organization. MCP tunnels are unsupported. Some supporting services process data outside Google Cloud; Anthropic is the data processor.

Vendor-reportedChecked: [setup]

Google IAM access is checked when a Managed Agents session or deployment is created. Revoking its creator’s Google Cloud access does not stop a running session or recurring deployment. The guide gives separate interruption and deployment controls.

For teams running service agents, identity offboarding therefore needs a second inventory: the sessions and recurring jobs created by that identity. A shared Google Cloud bill does not make the two offerings interchangeable.
