AWS bedrock-agentcore documentation change

Service: bedrock-agentcore · 2025-10-16 · Documentation low

File: bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/agents-tools-runtime.md

Summary

Updated branding to consistently use 'AgentCore Runtime', removed preview notice, enhanced technical details about session isolation and authentication, and added a structured 'Topics' section with security-related links.

Security assessment

The changes emphasize security features like microVM session isolation, memory sanitization, and authentication integration, and add documentation topics for IAM permissions, OAuth, and session management. However, there is no explicit evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability.

-In Runtime, each user session runs in a dedicated microVM with isolated CPU, memory, and filesystem resources. This helps create complete separation between user sessions, safeguarding stateful agent reasoning processes and helps prevent cross-session data contamination.
