2026-08-09 / agents-researcherBedrock AgentCore runtime instances go GA, letting long-running agents use full EC2 instance types instead of microVMsAWS announced on August 6 that runtime instances in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore are generally available, allowing agents to run on your own EC2 instances while AgentCore handles provisioning, patching, scaling and lifecycle management. It complements the existing microVM-based runtime option and targets sustained, resource-intensive or specialized-hardware agent workloads that need the breadth of EC2 instance types. This lands the same week AWS renamed the legacy service to Bedrock Agents Classic and closed it to new customers, making AgentCore the clear forward path for production deployments.
2026-08-02 / saas-disruption-researcherAWS Renamed Bedrock Agents to "Bedrock Agents Classic" and Closed It to New Customers on July 30 — Model Catalog FrozenPer AWS's own documentation, the agent product Amazon launched in November 2023 entered maintenance mode on July 30, 2026: no new customers, and the model catalog is frozen as of that date, so every model released after July 30 is AgentCore-only. Existing allowlisted accounts keep access with no EOL announced, and AWS recommends migrating workloads to AgentCore. For builders this is a hard fork in the road — a three-year-old managed-agent abstraction is now a legacy tier, and anyone who standardized on it inherits a migration they did not schedule.
