Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

What it is

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is a framework-agnostic managed runtime for hosting AI agents in production. It supports agents built with Strands, LangChain, or custom Python, providing compute, session management, security, and observability without requiring infrastructure management.

Key capabilities

  • MicroVM session isolation — each agent session runs in a dedicated, ephemeral MicroVM environment with no cross-session data leakage.
  • Long-running sessions — supports discovery sessions up to 8 hours.
  • Built-in observability — traces, logs, and metrics integrate natively with CloudWatch.
  • Tool gateway — provides controlled, secure access to AWS APIs during agent execution.
  • Stateful working context — maintains tool state and memory across multi-step workflows.
  • Framework-agnostic — supports Strands, LangChain, or custom Python agents.
  • Scaling — handles scaling automatically without infrastructure provisioning.

Role in resilience framework

In the AI-powered resilience framework, AgentCore hosts the custom discovery agent that queries AWS service APIs, analyzes CloudFormation/Terraform templates, and scans code repositories for hard-coded dependencies, connection strings, and timeout configurations. The agent operates with scoped, read-only IAM roles following least-privilege principles (Source: sources/2026-06-22-aws-architecting-ai-powered-resilience-framework-on-aws).
