AWS Bedrock Agentcore Runtime

Cloud AWS
#1

I was trying to learn and experiment with AWS Bedrock AgentCore Runtime in the AWS AI Playground. As part of the deployment, I needed to create supporting resources such as an IAM role, Amazon ECR repository/image, and other required AWS resources. However, I don’t have the necessary permissions to create these resources in the playground environment.

This significantly impacts the learning experience. If a dedicated AWS AI Playground is provided for hands-on learning, all required dependencies and permissions should ideally be available so learners can complete the labs without interruptions.

Having to raise support requests for basic permissions breaks the learning flow, burns valuable time and momentum, and makes it difficult to explore the services independently

AWS Bedrock is not supported on AWS Playgrounds. So, you won’t be able to run and test deployments on the Playground currently.

The API-oriented parts of Bedrock involve granting access in 12 hour chunks, which is problem for the shared use model we need for our playgrounds: even where we limit access to 3 hours, the API keys will still hang out there for another 9 hours. This is both a cost issue and a security issue, since while the vast majority of people who use our playgrounds are reponsible, we do have problems with people abusing the playgrounds. So we can’t make our playgrounds safe from security abuse in these cases.
So for now, these parts of Bedrock are beyond what we can support.
