AgentCore Runtime

Work in Progress

This page is currently under development.

Overview

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime is a managed service that enables running containerized AI agents with extended execution times, enhanced payloads, and isolated environments.

Key Features

Extended Execution

  • Long-Running Sessions: Up to 8 hours of execution time
  • Complex Reasoning: Support for multi-step, sophisticated reasoning chains
  • Multi-Agent Collaboration: Communication between agent instances
  • Stateful Processing: Maintain context across multiple invocations

Enhanced Payloads

  • Large Content Support: Up to 100MB payload size
  • Multi-Modal Input: Support for text, images, audio, and video
  • Structured Data: JSON, XML, and binary data handling
  • File Processing: Document analysis and processing capabilities

Session Isolation

  • Dedicated microVMs: Isolated execution environment for each agent
  • Resource Allocation: Configurable CPU and memory resources
  • Filesystem Isolation: Separate disk storage per session
  • Network Controls: Configurable network access policies

Framework Compatibility

AgentCore Runtime works with popular agent frameworks:

  • LangGraph: Directed graphs for complex reasoning flows
  • CrewAI: Multi-agent collaborative frameworks
  • Strands Agents: Structured reasoning agents
  • Custom Implementations: Any containerized agent system

Built-in Services

  • Authentication: Integration with identity providers
  • Observability: Tracing, logging, and metrics
  • Tool Access: Browser automation, code interpretation
  • Memory Management: Short and long-term memory systems

Deployment Model

Details on how AgentCore CLI deploys agents to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime will be added in a future update.
