Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway and Identity support VPC egress

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway and Identity Updates

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway and Identity now offer secure and controlled egress traffic management for your applications, enabling seamless communication with resources in your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This update includes VPC egress for AgentCore Gateway targets and Identity credential providers, available in both managed and self-managed configurations.

New Features

• Direct invocation of private resources (e.g., EKS-hosted MCP servers) from AgentCore Gateway.
• Managed VPC egress for most use cases, with self-managed VPC Lattice resources for complex networking setups.
• AgentCore Identity VPC egress supports connectivity to Identity Providers (IdPs) within a customer’s VPC, enabling validation of inbound access tokens and fetching tokens for outbound request authentication.
• Private DNS resolution for managed VPC egress resources across Gateway and Identity.

Availability

AgentCore Gateway and Identity are now available in fourteen AWS Regions.

What to do

• Review the AgentCore Gateway documentation and AgentCore Identity documentation for more information.
• Get started with the AgentCore CLI.
