Build and Run Your Own AI Agent in the Cloud

Building and deploying an AI agent on AWS can be accomplished using the Strands open-source framework and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Strands provides the application-level components for creating the agent, such as defining the LLM, system prompt, and tools. AgentCore offers the managed cloud services for operational aspects like runtime, scaling, session isolation, and memory. The tutorial walks through creating an educational assistant agent to demonstrate how these two systems work together for a production-ready deployment.
