AWS bedrock-agentcore documentation change

Service: bedrock-agentcore · 2025-10-19 · Documentation medium

File: bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/agentcore-vpc.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'Amazon Bedrock AgentCore' to 'AgentCore' and expanded VPC connectivity documentation to include inbound traffic handling via VPC endpoints with PrivateLink for secure API access

Security assessment

The change adds documentation about establishing private connectivity via VPC endpoints using AWS PrivateLink for inbound traffic, which enhances security by enabling secure API calls without internet traversal. While this improves security documentation, there is no evidence it addresses a specific existing vulnerability.

+VPC connectivity impacts inbound and outbound network traffic from AgentCore services. When you host your application in an AWS VPC, you can establish private connectivity to the AgentCore Runtime and AgentCore Gateway APIs by adding the AgentCore VPC endpoint to your VPC. This enables secure API calls, without internet traversal, through VPC PrivateLink inbound connections.
