Use the AgentCore CLI (Node.js) to deploy a Strands agent to Bedrock AgentCore with just agentcore create + deploy. Verified that session isolation enables conversation continuity across invocations.
Deploy a Strands Agents SDK agent to AWS Lambda using the official Lambda Layer. Measured cold start Init Duration at ~1 second and warm start at under 1 second.
Wrap a Strands Agents SDK agent with FastAPI to create an HTTP API, then package it as a Docker container. Covers the async def hang pitfall and SSO credential issues encountered during verification.
Tested Stateful MCP's 3 capabilities with a DynamoDB-backed expense tracker. Verified data integrity on Elicitation decline/cancel and fallback behavior on Sampling failure to provide production design guidance.
Hands-on verification of S3 account regional namespaces via CLI. Measured per-region prefix length limits, tested IAM condition key enforcement, and discovered built-in name protection in the global namespace.
Verified DevOps Agent's EKS integration. Compared investigation processes for application vs. infrastructure failures, measured audit log-based operator identification, and evaluated preventive recommendations for critical system components.
Run the same task with Agents as Tools, Swarm, and Graph, then compare structural differences via metrics. Establish selection criteria for choosing the right pattern per use case.
Embed a Swarm as a node in a Graph to combine autonomous collaboration with structured workflows. Verify nested execution results and multi-agent Hooks for node monitoring.
Build deterministic workflows with Strands Agents SDK's Graph pattern. Define sequential, parallel, conditional, and feedback loop workflows with GraphBuilder, verified with real execution results.
