### AI overview

Amazon announces a new AgentCore runtime for production AI agents. The managed compute layer improves memory reclamation, cold-start consistency across image sizes and concurrency levels, elasticity, and usage-based cost efficiency.

### Source excerpt

Today we are announcing the new AgentCore runtime, a capability of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore built for the speed, flexibility, and cost efficiency that production agents demand. It reclaims memory as sessions release it and delivers consistent cold starts regardless of image size or concurrency.

### AI overview

Unit 42 researchers found that default configurations in AWS AgentCore Harness could allow prompt injection to steer an agent and exfiltrate plaintext credentials managed by AgentCore Identity. The analysis examines the interaction between the identity vault, a downstream MCP server, and the harness's built-in shell tool. It recommends restricting allowed tools, applying least privilege to identity-vault service accounts, and monitoring outbound traffic.

### AI overview

This tutorial explains how to build and deploy .NET AI agents with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. It describes the managed runtime's operational features, the AWS.AgentCore.Hosting .NET library, integration with Microsoft Agent Framework and MCP, and source-generator and extension-method approaches for configuring ASP.NET Core applications.

### Source excerpt

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is a managed service for running AI agents in production. You bring your agent code packaged as a container, and Bedrock AgentCore handles the operational concerns: scaling, session routing, health checking, and providing managed capabilities like conversation memory. AWS.AgentCore.Hosting is the .NET library that connects your agent code to this service. It [...]
