AWS's flagship managed AI-agent product, launched at re:Invent 2023, was renamed 'Bedrock Agents Classic' and shoved into maintenance mode — closed to new customers, model catalog frozen, superseded by Bedrock AgentCore. New accounts calling CreateAgent now get a 403 citing maintenance mode. AWS broke its own CDK integration tests in the process and swapped the agent resource for a CloudWatch dashboard. One of roughly 20 services swept into maintenance in a single bulletin.
