Per AWS's own documentation, the agent product Amazon launched in November 2023 entered maintenance mode: no new customers, model catalog frozen as of that date, so every model released after July 30 is AgentCore-only. Existing allowlisted accounts keep access with no EOL announced. If you standardized on Bedrock Agents, you just inherited a migration you didn't schedule. This is the second time in two years that a hyperscaler's managed-agent abstraction became a legacy tier before most teams finished adopting it.
