Configuration-based agents (legacy Bedrock Agents) Partial match
Bedrock Agents Classic is in maintenance (no new customers since July 30, 2026). On Azure, the equivalent concept is a Foundry prompt agent, and on AWS the successor is the AgentCore managed harness.
- AWS's migration path is the AgentCore harness. Action groups become MCP tools through AgentCore Gateway, and knowledge bases become gateway-fronted tools, with memory, guardrails, and tracing added.
- Foundry prompt agents are the declarative counterpart. They support instructions, a model, and tools (file search, code interpreter, web search, MCP, functions).
