Assemble capabilities around the business decision.

AWS documents building blocks for models, agent runtime, retrieval and workflow control. The CAE interpretation connects them to enterprise context, human authority and systems of record.

An original candidate architecture

  1. Experience and integrationExisting business channels → Amazon API Gateway and authorised application adapters.
  2. Context and meaningExisting records → Glue Data Catalog / Lake Formation and Bedrock Knowledge Bases where suitable. Business owners maintain meaning and source quality.
  3. Reasoning and workflowAmazon Bedrock models and AgentCore runtime; Step Functions for explicit workflow coordination where suitable.
  4. Authority and effectConfigured identities, AgentCore Gateway Policy on mediated traffic, human decision application and backend transaction checks.
  5. Evidence and operationSelected AgentCore operational capabilities plus customer decision evidence, outcome measures, alerts and recovery.

This diagram is a proposed assembly. All arrows denote integration work to design and test, not an existing connection.

What documentation supports

Amazon Bedrock supplies managed model access. AgentCore documents runtime, memory, gateway and identity components that can be selected separately. Knowledge Bases supports retrieval from configured information sources. These capabilities do not establish the accuracy or permitted use of customer information.

Gateway Policy evaluates traffic passing through its gateways. Protect other tool and API paths separately. Step Functions coordinates state-machine workflows; its human approval example demonstrates an application pattern rather than supplying the organisation’s approval policy.

API Gateway provides API-management capabilities. Lake Formation governs supported data access alongside catalogue metadata. Neither defines business concepts or grants a business mandate.

Controls and deployment choices still to make

No AWS account, customer data, paid service, runtime or integration is provisioned by this website. No benchmark, partnership, certification or compliance outcome is claimed. See the full capability comparison for the customer-owned responsibilities across all three clouds.
