Amazon Web Services (AWS)<\/a> hosted its latest AWS Summit this week in New York, and the importance of AI for the company was manifest in its announcements.<\/p>\n

While the first 20 years of its existence and success has been firmly rooted in the cloud, like all of its rivals and many more companies that wouldn\u2019t be considered direct competitors it has turned its attention to riding the generative AI<\/a> wave.<\/p>\n

With the advent of agentic AI<\/a>, the latest industry buzzword, the situation for AWS is no different.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, these are the three most important announcements to come out of AWS Summit New York 2025.<\/p>\n

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore<\/p>\n

Two of the key concerns around AI agents and generative AI in business are security and governance. Can organizations be certain that the AI service they\u2019re using isn\u2019t leaking data and that data is stored and accessed in a way that complies with regulations, such as GDPR for example.<\/p>\n

AgentCore, the latest addition to AWS\u2019 managed generative AI service Amazon Bedrock<\/a>, aims to solve these issues as well as maintaining reliability all while ensuring the agents can continue to operate autonomously.<\/p>\n

AgentCore is composed of seven different services. These include Gateway, which provides AI agents access to tools like APIs and Lambda functions securely, and Browser Tool, which (as the name would suggest) allows agents to securely access websites through a cloud-based browser.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Memory lets developers create context-aware agents with long-term and short-term memory.<\/p>\n

According to AWS, all this aids developers in moving an AI agent from proof of concept to an application that can scale for millions of users.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have the capacity or desire to build your own agents, but still want to take advantage of agentic AI, this second key announcement is for you.<\/p>\n

During his keynote, Swami Sivasubramanian, AWS VP for Agentic AI, said the cloud computing<\/a> giant is on a mission to improve access to AI agents for enterprises.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding specialized agents in-house requires expertise across multiple domains, not just from large language models, but also with specific business functions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo organization can be an expert in everything \u2013 nor should they be \u2013 and just as today\u2019s software ecosystem thrives on third-party APIs, tomorrow’s AI agents will need to integrate specialized capabilities from across organizations, providers and systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key to driving access here is the new AI Agents and Tools service in AWS Marketplace. The offering will allow customers to \u201cdiscover, buy, deploy, and manage AI agents and tools from leading providers\u201d, according to AWS.<\/p>\n

Anthropic, Brave, Snowflake, IBM and Agentforce were all named during Sivasubramanian\u2019s keynote, among others.<\/p>\n

Amazon S3 Vectors<\/p>\n

The final of our top three most important announcements is Amazon S3<\/a> Vectors, which most obviously marries together AWS\u2019 cloud storage pedigree with its AI pivot.<\/p>\n

S3 Vectors is a cloud object storage offering with native vector support for AI workloads. According to AWS, it can reduce the cost of storing and querying vectors by \u201cup to 90% compared to conventional methods.<\/p>\n

It also integrates with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases and OpenSearch Service, which, the company claims, streamlines and reduces the costs of RAG and vector search operations.<\/p>\n

In his keynote, Sivasubramanian said the service was \u201cideal for infrequent query workloads like batch processing and non-real time agentic apps\u201d.<\/p>\n
