OpenAI teams up with AWS: Bedrock Managed Agents run OpenAI agents entirely inside AWS
OpenAI and Amazon announced Bedrock Managed Agents at DevDay 2026, letting developers build OpenAI-powered agents whose inference runs on AWS with data staying in the customer's environment.
What happened
At DevDay 2026, OpenAI and Amazon introduced Bedrock Managed Agents, which combines OpenAI's agent harness with AWS infrastructure and integrations. Developers can use Amazon's Bedrock Managed Agents to build OpenAI agents that run entirely on AWS. Agents run in the customer's environment, inference runs on Bedrock, and data stays within AWS. The service handles inference, memory, and skills, and works with Bedrock AgentCore.
Why it matters
The service takes the core capabilities of OpenAI's Agents API and adds AWS-native customization and integration with AWS resources. For organizations already running on AWS, it gives them another way to deploy agentic applications without moving data or workloads outside their existing cloud environment.
