Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Getting Started
AWS Skill Builder
Last updated October 23, 2025
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Getting Started is a free, one-hour introduction to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, an AWS offering for deploying and operating AI agents securely and at scale. The premise is that getting an agent working is one thing and running it reliably in production is another: AgentCore aims at the second part, with purpose-built infrastructure to scale agents and the controls to keep them trustworthy, and it is designed to be composable — working with popular open-source agent frameworks and any model rather than locking you to one. This is a brief, overview-level course: it introduces what AgentCore is and walks through the use cases it is built for, so you come away understanding where the service fits rather than having built an agent with it.

- What AgentCore is and the problem it addresses
- Operating AI agents securely and at scale
- The controls that keep agents trustworthy
- How a composable service works with open-source frameworks and any model
- The use cases it's built for
