🚀 Agenda:
- What's New on AWS!!
- Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: A Field Guide for AWS Builders - Rowan Udell - AWS Security Hero & Consultant
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is AWS's new platform for building, deploying, and securing AI agents at scale, but with a suite of new services comes a new set of decisions about how the pieces fit together. In this session, Rowan will walk through the core AgentCore services, from Runtime and Memory to Identity and Observability, and show how they work together to take an agent from prototype to something you can actually trust in production. - Building Production AI Agents on AWS Bedrock AgentCore: Lessons from a Real SaaS Platform - Marcus Rosen - Chief Technology Officer: Universal Edge AI.
What does it actually take to ship an AI agent into production? This talk walks through the journey of building EdgeUp — a multi-tenant SaaS platform serving Australian gaming clubs — and the hard-won lessons along the way. You'll get a look at the EdgeUp architecture and its AI assistant hosted on AWS Bedrock AgentCore, before diving into what building agents in the real world actually looks like: the pitfalls that don't show up in tutorials, the decisions that matter, and how Universal Edge AI approaches agent evaluation to build confidence their agents are doing what they're supposed to.
