Monitor on-premises and multi-cloud AI agents with AgentCore Observability
TL;DR
Set up Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Observability for AI agents running outside AWS: on-premises, on GCP, on Azure, or on developer machines. This walkthrough uses the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) and IAM credentials to route session traces, span metrics, and token usage to the same AgentCore Observability dashboard.
Nauti's Take
The design builds on ADOT and open telemetry, which is a real advantage: agent traces stay portable across environments instead of locked into a vendor format. The catch is the operating cost, since data residency, added AWS overhead and metric comparability all stay open.
So run the first test on an agent outside AWS with real token costs.
