- Languages are Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, with shell and AWS CLI commands; common libraries are preinstalled. Network mode is Sandbox, Public or VPC.
- Billing runs from microVM boot to shutdown and includes system overhead. The Browser tool uses the same rates.
- Session files are deleted when the session ends; S3 Files and EFS access points can be mounted (VPC mode) for data that must persist.
- Hardware is fixed at up to 2 vCPU and 8 GB per session; the 1,000 concurrent sessions per account (per region) quota can be raised.
- New AWS customers get up to $200 in account-wide Free Tier credits; there is no AgentCore-specific free tier.
- SOC 2 per the AgentCore compliance validation page.
