Spinning up an AI agent is easy
Spinning up an AI agent is easy.
Scaling one in production? A compliance nightmare until today.
AWS just unveiled Amazon Bedrock AgentCore (preview).
Think of it as the DevOps layer for agentic AI so you stop stitching infra and start shipping value.
What’s inside
- Runtime – serverless, sandboxed, session‑isolated.
- Memory – short & long‑term context, encrypted by default.
- Identity – fine‑grained, OAuth‑ready access to AWS + third‑party tools.
- Gateway – turns any API or Lambda into an agent‑ready tool.
- Observability – step‑by‑step traces, token metrics, Open Telemetry hooks.
Bottom line: Less plumbing, more product. Launch complex agents without rebuilding security, session, or monitoring every time.
Quick wins this week
- Pick a POC agent you’ve stalled on (customer support bot, ops automation).
- Drop it into AgentCore Runtime—get an isolated endpoint in minutes.
- Switch on Observability to trace every step and tame the unknowns.
If agentic AI is on your roadmap, AgentCore just shortened it dramatically.
