Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is now generally available

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is an agentic platform to build, deploy and operate highly capable agents securely at scale using any framework, model, or protocol. AgentCore lets you build agents faster, enable agents to take actions across tools and data, run agents securely with low-latency and extended runtimes, and monitor agents in production - all without any infrastructure management. With general availability, all AgentCore services now have support for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), AWS PrivateLink, AWS CloudFormation, and resource tagging, enabling developers to deploy AI agents with enhanced enterprise security and infrastructure automation capabilities. AgentCore Runtime builds on its preview capabilities of industry-leading eight-hour execution windows and complete session isolation by adding support for the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, with broader A2A support coming soon across all AgentCore services. AgentCore Memory now offers a self-managed strategy that gives you complete control over your memory extraction and consolidation pipelines. AgentCore Gateway now connects to existing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in addition to transforming APIs and Lambda functions into agent-compatible tools. It also supports Identity and Access Management (IAM) authorization enabling customers to leverage IAM in additional to OAuth for secure agent to tool interactions over MCP, and acts as a single, secure endpoint for agents to discover and use tools without the need for custom integrations. AgentCore Identity now offers identity-aware authorization, secure vault storage for refresh tokens, and native integration with additional OAuth-enabled services so agents can securely act on behalf of users or by themselves with enhanced access controls. AgentCore Observability now delivers complete visibility into end-to-end agent execution and operational metrics across all AgentCore services through dashboards powered by Amazon CloudWatch, and it is OTEL compatible, offering seamless integration with Amazon CloudWatch and external observability providers like Dynatrace, Datadog, Arize Phoenix, LangSmith, and Langfuse. AgentCore works with any open source framework (CrewAI, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Google ADK, OpenAI Agents SDK) and any model in or outside Amazon Bedrock, giving you freedom to use your preferred frameworks and models, and innovate with confidence.
