Bedrock AgentCore Connects to Cross-Account Knowledge Bases
Key takeaways
- Bedrock AgentCore now supports cross-account knowledge base access.
- Data duplication is avoided, improving security and governance.
- Integration supports services like Amazon Redshift Serverless.
- Two orchestration models (Strands agent, AgentCore harness) are available.
Who benefits
Summary
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore agents can now access knowledge bases, such as those backed by Amazon Redshift Serverless, located in different AWS accounts without data duplication. The post details the architecture, security, and two orchestration models for this cross-account integration.
Why it matters
This feature enhances data governance and security for enterprises by allowing AI agents to access sensitive information across organizational boundaries without data replication, simplifying compliance and reducing operational overhead.
How to implement this in your domain
- 1Configure IAM roles and policies to establish secure cross-account access for Bedrock AgentCore.
- 2Design the architecture for connecting your AgentCore agents to a knowledge base in a separate AWS account.
- 3Choose between a code-based Strands agent or a declarative AgentCore harness for orchestration based on project needs.
- 4Test the end-to-end flow to ensure agents can accurately retrieve and utilize information from the cross-account knowledge base.
- 5Document the security and access configurations for auditing and compliance.
