Building Advanced Agentic Systems on AWS

In this course, you’ll learn about implementing production-ready multi-agent systems using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, covering mulit-agent patterns, context optimization techniques, security configurations, and monitoring frameworks. You will examine the skills needed to move beyond proof-of-concept to scalable, secure, and observable agentic AI implementations. The course prepares you to design and deploy advanced agentic systems ready for real-world production environment.
