Securing Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime with AWS WAF

AWS published a blog post detailing two architecture patterns to secure Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime using AWS WAF. The patterns involve routing traffic through a VPC Interface Endpoint with either a Lambda proxy or direct ALB targeting to control and protect requests. These methods also include resource policies to ensure traffic only flows through AWS WAF, enhancing security with SigV4 and OAuth authentication.
