Amazon Web Services joined the agentic AI frenzy in a big way this week, revealing at a New York City event Wednesday a host of services and tools dubbed Agentcore that let technologists build and deploy so-called AI agents capable of automating internal tasks while potentially overhauling the way consumers interact with online businesses too.

During the keynote, there was news about updates to EventBridge and the AWS Free Tier, as well as thoughts about how agentic AI is “upending the way software is built.”

Amazon.com CEO Andy Jassy's predictions that automation would cost jobs at the company have proven accurate at Amazon Web Services. Amazon confirmed to The Register today that jobs will go at several teams at AWS, though the company declined to provide specifics on numbers, or which teams were involved. We understand around 100 jobs are at stake.
