Agents2026-08-09 · source-backed
AWS announced August 6 that agents can now run on your own EC2 instances while AgentCore handles provisioning, patching, scaling, and lifecycle. Complements the existing microVM runtime, targeting sustained or specialized-hardware workloads that need the full EC2 instance-type range. The same-week rename of the legacy service to Bedrock Agents Classic, closed to new customers, makes the forward path unambiguous. If you're on Classic, start planning the migration now rather than when they announce an end date.
