Why platforms matter - AWS Prescriptive Guidance

Why platforms matter

Agentic AI platforms are critical for organizations seeking to operationalize autonomous systems in production. They offer the following capabilities:

  • Provide runtime orchestration for hosting, scaling, and coordinating agents.

  • Manage state, context, and memory across multi-agent workflows.

  • Offer security, identity, and governance controls aligned with enterprise standards.

  • Integrate with tooling ecosystems and external systems through standard APIs or protocols.

  • Enable observability and auditability across agent interactions and event flows.

  • Support cross-model interoperability, allowing agents to use multiple foundation models in a single environment.

These capabilities turn individual agents into coordinated, adaptive systems that can operate reliably within enterprise and regulatory boundaries.
