AWS has launched runtime instances for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a managed compute option designed for production AI agents requiring persistent infrastructure. Runtime instances use AWS-managed EC2 infrastructure and support shared sessions lasting up to 14 days, GPU acceleration, direct operating system access, container deployments, and multiple collaborating agents on the same host.
Agents can share files and context within sessions while using different frameworks and models. Developers can also stop and restart sessions to reduce idle costs.
The capability complements AgentCore runtime microVMs and integrates with existing AgentCore APIs, identity controls, observability, memory, and policy management for production deployments.
