Amazon Bedrock AgentCore expands to two new regions

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a platform for building, connecting, and optimizing AI agents, is now available in two additional AWS Regions: US West (N. California) and Asia Pacific (Hyderabad). The expansion allows customers to deploy agents closer to end users, reducing latency for applications requiring real-time interactions. The service supports multiple frameworks and models, enabling engineers to integrate agents with enterprise systems and tools efficiently. Security is enforced at the infrastructure layer, preventing agents from bypassing established controls.

The new regions provide access to AgentCore’s core capabilities at launch, including agent runtime, identity and access management, policy enforcement, session persistence, tool connectivity, evaluations, and observability features. These tools are designed to streamline agent development and operational management. Customers can leverage the platform to build agents that interact with proprietary systems while maintaining compliance with organizational policies.

AWS did not disclose specific pricing details for AgentCore in the announcement, directing users to the official pricing page for region-specific costs. The expansion aligns with AWS’s strategy to broaden its generative AI tooling footprint globally, particularly in regions with growing demand for low-latency AI services. Existing customers in supported regions can begin using AgentCore immediately.

For developers seeking guidance, AWS provides a product page, developer guide, and region availability documentation. The resources outline setup procedures, best practices, and compatibility requirements for integrating AgentCore into existing workflows. Customers are advised to review regional service limits and compliance certifications before deployment.
