What is Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime V2?

Serverless computing is a way of running software in the cloud without the customer having to set up or manage servers or other hardware. AI agents, software that works with large language models and tools, vary widely: an agent may answer in seconds or work for hours, and each user's session has to stay separate from the others. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime is a hosting environment from AWS for deploying and running AI agents or tools. Its documentation says each user session runs in a dedicated microVM, a small isolated virtual machine. V2 is the next generation of this runtime, which AWS says reclaims memory that is no longer in use during a session; it is selected by setting a runtime option called platformVersion to V2.
