NEW YORK, NY – Amazon Web Services (AWS) has officially launched Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a foundational platform designed to empower enterprises to build and deploy sophisticated, production-ready AI agents. The announcement, made at the AWS Summit New York 2025, marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence, positioning AWS as a central hub for the next generation of agentic infrastructure.
Bedrock AgentCore provides a comprehensive suite of modular services, or "agentic primitives," that handle the complex, behind-the-scenes work of agent development. These include a secure runtime environment with session isolation, persistent memory management for context-aware interactions, and a gateway for seamless integration with existing business APIs. This approach drastically simplifies the journey from a proof-of-concept AI agent to a reliable, enterprise-scale application.
In a move that emphasizes open innovation, the platform supports industry-standard protocols such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A). This commitment to interoperability ensures that agents built on Bedrock AgentCore can communicate and collaborate with other agents, models, and tools, regardless of their origin. Developers can also leverage the open-source Strand SDK, a framework that uses an LLM's advanced reasoning to automatically plan and execute complex tasks, further streamlining the development process.
"The launch of Bedrock AgentCore is about more than just a new tool—it's about laying the groundwork for a future where autonomous agents are a core part of business operations," said an AWS spokesperson. "We are providing the secure, scalable, and interoperable foundation that enterprises need to unlock the full potential of AI agents." The platform is expected to drive significant innovation across industries, from automating customer service and data analysis to orchestrating complex supply chain logistics.
