Moments after liftoff from Florida’s Space Coast early Thursday morning, a shower of sparks emerged in the exhaust plume of United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket. Seconds later, the rocket twisted on its axis before recovering and continuing the climb into orbit with a batch of US military satellites.

AI agents are rapidly evolving from mere chat interfaces into sophisticated autonomous workers that handle complex, time-intensive tasks. As organizations deploy agents to train machine learning (ML) models, process large datasets, and run extended simulations, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a standard for agent-server integrations. But a critical challenge remains: these operations can take minutes or hours to complete, far exceeding typical session timeframes. By using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Strands Agents to implement persistent […]
