Amazon Web Services has introduced Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a modular platform that lets companies build, deploy and operate artificial-intelligence agents at scale. Announced at the AWS Summit in New York on 16 July, the system bundles a serverless runtime, long- and short-term memory services, identity management, observability dashboards, a code-execution sandbox, a headless browser and an API gateway that converts internal and third-party services into agent-ready tools. The service supports widely used MCP and A2A protocols and works with popular open-source frameworks including LangChain, CrewAI and LlamaIndex. AgentCore is available in preview in four regions—Northern Virginia, Oregon, Frankfurt and Sydney—with no charge until 16 September, after which usage will be billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Early adopters such as Autodesk, Cisco, Workday, Box, Itaú Unibanco, Innovaccer and Epsilon are testing the platform for applications ranging from automated customer support to personalised banking. AWS Vice President of Agentic AI Swami Sivasubramanian said security, reliability and observability "will matter even more as AI agents scale," positioning Bedrock AgentCore as the foundation for mission-critical enterprise deployments.
