Building AI Agents with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

Build practical AI agents on AWS without getting buried in complexity.

Building AI Agents with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is a beginner-friendly, hands-on guide for developers who want to understand how modern AI agents are built, deployed, connected to tools, given memory, secured, observed, and debugged using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.

Instead of overwhelming you with advanced cloud architecture or unrelated AI theory, this book follows one practical agent project from the fundamentals to a working end-to-end application. You will see how the major AgentCore capabilities fit together and, more importantly, why and when each one is needed. The manuscript deliberately introduces Runtime, tools, Gateway, Memory, Identity, and Observability progressively around one evolving project. Building AI Agents with Amazon ...

You will learn how to:

• Understand the role of AgentCore Runtime and deploy an agent to a managed environment
• Give your agent useful capabilities through tools
• Connect external services and capabilities with AgentCore Gateway
• Add short-term and long-term context using AgentCore Memory
• Control access to protected resources with AgentCore Identity
• Work with logs, metrics, spans, and traces to understand agent behavior
• Assemble the individual components into a complete agent workflow
• Diagnose common failures and build a practical debugging routine
• Work through Python code, CLI commands, configuration, and guided exercises with expected results

The book is designed for readers who are new to AgentCore. Advanced AWS knowledge is not required, although basic familiarity with Python, a terminal, and common development concepts will help. Building AI Agents with Amazon ...

Rather than jumping between disconnected demonstrations, you will improve the same agent step by step as each new capability is introduced. By the end, you will have followed the project through deployment, tools, external connections, memory, access control, observability, integration, and troubleshooting.
