Summary
On August 28, 2026, AWS made Amazon Bedrock AgentCore available in two additional regions — US West (N. California) and Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) — so customers can build and run agents closer to their users. The full AgentCore stack, including agent runtime, identity and access control, policy management, session persistence, tool connectivity, evaluations, and observability, is available in both regions at launch.
What changed
AWS added US West (N. California) and Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore's supported regions, with the complete AgentCore capability set (runtime, identity/access control, policy, session persistence, tool connectivity, evaluations, observability) live at launch.
Why it matters
Regional availability is a gating factor for enterprises with data-residency and latency requirements, so widening AgentCore's footprint — India in particular — removes an adoption blocker for regulated and latency-sensitive agent deployments and signals AWS scaling agent infrastructure globally.
