OpenAI announced on November 9, 2026 that ChatGPT Enterprise is available through AWS Marketplace, giving organizations a way to buy and manage the suite through existing AWS purchasing and billing relationships and apply eligible spending toward AWS commitments.

The AWS Marketplace listing names OpenAI as the seller and classifies the product as software as a service deployed on AWS. Pricing is customized through private offers based on customer requirements and eligibility. AWS handles purchasing and billing, while OpenAI continues to manage the product experience.

Matt Yanchyshyn, vice president of AWS Marketplace and Partner Services, said customers can “buy it through their AWS account, govern it alongside the rest of their software spend, and move from evaluation to rollout faster.”

OpenAI says AWS customers receive the same models, features and functionality available directly from the company, with new features released at the same time. Eligible customers can also access ChatGPT for Healthcare and ChatGPT for Financial Services through AWS Marketplace, with eligibility confirmed through OpenAI or AWS account teams.

Four Products in One Enterprise Bundle

The enterprise bundle combines Chat, ChatGPT Work, Codex and dots. Chat supports conversations for exploring ideas, writing and working through problems. ChatGPT Work delegates multi-step research, analysis and projects, using connected apps and files to create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and reports. Users can review progress, steer the work and approve important actions.

Codex helps developers understand codebases, build features, fix bugs, run tests and review changes. Always-on dots track updates, keep documents and analyses current, and bring forward results and decisions requiring attention between conversations.

On security and administration, the vendor-supplied listing says business data is encrypted at rest and in transit and is not used to train OpenAI models by default. Administrators can manage user access, permissions and connected tools, while users control what agents can access and which actions require approval.

Marketplace Billing Has Data-Handling Limits

The AWS deployment label does not amount to a data-location guarantee. The listing states that purchasing through AWS Marketplace does not guarantee that all customer data remains on AWS infrastructure or within the customer’s AWS environment. OpenAI is the data processor and engages subprocessors, including AWS, to support the service.

Data residency controls where supported customer content is stored at rest, while inference residency separately controls where model inference on that content runs on GPUs. These options apply only when enabled, are not available in all regions and do not cover all processing or systems data.

ChatGPT Enterprise and Bedrock Serve Different Roles

OpenAI positions ChatGPT Enterprise as complementary to its models in Amazon Bedrock. Developers can build AI applications and agents with those models in Bedrock, while teams across a business use ChatGPT Enterprise in their daily work. Organizations can select an approach according to their workloads and governance requirements, providing separate routes for custom development and packaged workplace AI.

The marketplace launch follows an April 28, 2026 announcement in which OpenAI and AWS introduced limited previews of OpenAI models on AWS, Codex on AWS and Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents powered by OpenAI. Those offerings centered on building with OpenAI capabilities in AWS environments; the new announcement adds a procurement channel for the ChatGPT Enterprise bundle.

For AWS-centric enterprises, the launch makes procurement part of a broader deployment decision. AWS can consolidate the purchase with other software spending, while workload, governance and residency requirements shape whether ChatGPT Enterprise, Bedrock or a combination fits the organization.
