AgentCore adds managed EC2 runtime instances for 14-day agent sessions
AWS made Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime instances generally available, letting teams place agents on managed EC2 capacity providers with GPU, memory-optimized or compute-optimized instance types while AWS handles provisioning, patching, scaling and lifecycle management. Sessions can run for up to 14 days, versus up to eight hours for the serverless microVM path.
Why it matters: Long-running or specialized agents now have a managed path to dedicated EC2 shapes without changing the invoke model. The choice also creates a distinct capacity, tenancy and cost boundary that must be compared with the serverless runtime rather than treated…
