AWS AI Updates: June 16, 2026

1. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory Adds Strictly Consistent Metadata

AWS. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory now lets developers attach metadata values directly from their applications to long-term memory records, bypassing LLM inference so that supplied values are preserved exactly. When a metadata key uses the STRICTLY_CONSISTENT extraction type, the application-provided value transfers unchanged, and the feature supports up to three strictly consistent keys per strategy across semantic, user preference, and episodic strategies, with LLM-inferred and strictly consistent keys able to coexist on the same resource. This enables department-scoped retrieval, compliance boundaries that keep regulated and standard records segregated, and multi-tenant memory where each tenant’s data is processed independently, and it is available in all AWS Regions supporting AgentCore Memory.

2. AWS DevOps Agent Adds Custom SRE Agents and Headless Access

AWS. AWS DevOps Agent now supports custom SRE agents that teams can create and schedule within Agent Spaces to run on a cadence, such as a daily database health report that checks for slow queries or agents that analyze logs and flag anomalies. The update adds headless access through MCP and A2A protocols so developers can invoke DevOps Agent from existing tools and coding assistants such as Kiro and Claude without leaving their IDE, and it lets teams connect custom sub-agents built with Amazon Bedrock or third-party frameworks. Additional enhancements include incident-skip rules, Git-managed skills for knowledge management, human labeling for quality tracking, and expansion to five new regions. Source
