Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents
Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents is built on a customized version of OpenAI's Agents API and integrated with AWS resources. It manages agent state, tool use, code execution, and multi-step coordination, with durable sessions, reusable skills, and support for MCP servers.
What it does
Develop and run agents optimized for OpenAI models within AWS, connecting them to tools and AWS resources under AWS governance controls.
