Agentes de Cero a Producción con Strands Agents y Bedrock AgentCore
Curso completo, de cero a producción: agentes con Strands Agents, tools, MCP, memoria, patrones multi-agente y deploy serverless con Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.
Clase 4 (y última) del curso "Agentes de Cero a Producción con Strands Agents y Bedrock AgentCore". Hoy deployamos nuestro agente de viajes corporativo en un ambiente serverless con AgentCore Runtime, le damos memoria persistente con AgentCore Memory, y lo conectamos a APIs corporativas con AgentCore Gateway. 🎯 ¿Qué cubrimos en esta clase? → Qué es Amazon Bedrock AgentCore y sus 8 servicios → AgentCore Runtime: deploy serverless con agentcore configure + deploy → AgentCore Memory: short-term (sesión) y long-term (preferencias) → AgentCore Gateway: exponer Lambda como tool del agente → Policies: controlar qué puede hacer cada empleado → Demo completa: agente en producción con múltiples sesiones → De localhost a producción en vivo 📚 Capítulos 00:00 Bienvenida a la última clase 01:48 Anuncios: Meetup + Community Day Argentina 02:52 Encuesta de feedback + premios para los primeros 20 05:16 Agenda: hoy salimos a producción 05:37 Qué es Amazon Bedrock AgentCore 08:20 Los 8 servicios: Browser, Code Interpreter, Gateway, Identity, Policies, Memory, Runtime, Observability 11:20 Memory: corto plazo y largo plazo 13:00 Runtime: serverless, escalable, sin gestionar infra 14:26 Observability: CloudWatch + evaluaciones 16:20 Preguntas antes de la demo 19:50 Demo: creando el agente en AgentCore 22:00 Dockerfile + setup del contenedor 25:00 requirements.txt + entrypoint 28:00 agentcore configure 32:00 Primer deploy (troubleshooting Docker en vivo) 37:00 agentcore deploy en AWS 40:00 Primera invocación desde la consola 42:00 Agregando tools al agente (search_flights, get_weather) 48:00 Redeploy con tools 50:00 Testing: agente deployado con tools funcionando 55:00 Configurando AgentCore Memory 1:00:00 Session Manager + Actor ID 1:05:00 Demo: memoria corto plazo en acción 1:08:00 Extracción automática de memoria a largo plazo 1:10:00 Gateway: employee tool + políticas corporativas 1:15:00 Lambda function como tool via Gateway 1:18:00 agentcore add target (Gateway) 1:20:00 Deploy final con Gateway 1:24:00 Demo completa: Runtime + Memory + Gateway funcionando 1:30:00 Multi-sesión: empleado 01 vs empleado 02 1:35:00 Q&A + cierre del curso 1:38:22 Despedida y agradecimiento
Clase 3 del curso "Agentes de Cero a Producción con Strands Agents y Bedrock AgentCore". Hoy le agregamos hooks de observabilidad y enforcement al agente, implementamos steering para guiar su comportamiento, y exploramos los 4 patrones multi-agente de Strands: Agents as Tools, Swarm, Graph y A2A. ¿Qué cubrimos en esta clase? → Hooks: interceptar el agent loop para loggear, medir y bloquear → ObservabilityHook: loggear cada tool call con timing → EnforcementHook: bloquear destinos restringidos con skip_invocation → Steering: guiar al agente entre turnos sin tocar el system prompt → Multi-agente: Agents as Tools, Swarm, Graph y A2A en vivo → Demo: Shopify MCP + agente completo de viajes → Demo: A2A server con Strands (agentes remotos) → Preview de Bedrock AgentCore para la clase 4
Clase 2 del curso "Agentes de Cero a Producción con Strands Agents y Bedrock AgentCore". Hoy le damos dos superpoderes al agente: MCP para consumir tools de manera estandarizada y Mem0 para memoria persistente entre sesiones. 🎯 ¿Qué cubrimos en esta clase? Construimos un servidor MCP propio sobre Duffel con tools, resources y prompts. Lo testeamos con MCP Inspector, lo conectamos a nuestro agente Strands, y lo usamos desde Claude Code. Después le agregamos memoria con Mem0 para que el agente recuerde preferencias del usuario entre sesiones. Lo que vemos: → Qué problema resuelve MCP y cómo funciona el protocolo → Las 3 primitivas: tools, resources, prompts (con ejemplos) → Crear un servidor MCP propio sobre Duffel (HTTP) → MCP Inspector: debugging visual del servidor → Conectar el MCP server a Strands via Streamable HTTP → Demo: agente buscando vuelos via MCP → Demo: mismo MCP server consumido desde Claude Code → Usando prompts y resources del MCP server desde código → Demo: MCP server de Shopify (e-commerce real) → El problema: el agente no recuerda entre sesiones → Qué es Mem0 y cómo funciona → Integrar Mem0 con Strands como tool → Demo: el agente recuerda preferencias del usuario → Demo: Kiro (IDE de AWS) creando un agente con Strands
Clase 1 del curso "Agentes de Cero a Producción con Strands Agents y Bedrock AgentCore". Construimos el primer agente desde cero, le damos herramientas, y lo conectamos a la API de Duffel para buscar vuelos reales. Vemos el Agent Loop, multi-provider, tools con @tool, logging, y una demo 100% local con Ollama.
Clase 0 del curso "Agentes de Cero a Producción con Strands Agents y Bedrock AgentCore". Clase de nivelación: qué son los LLMs, embeddings, Transformers y la predicción de tokens. Setup del entorno: Python, cuenta AWS capa gratuita, API key de Duffel, e instalación de Ollama para correr modelos locales.
