Securing Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime with AWS WAF | Amazon Web Services
When you deploy generative AI agents with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore as production API endpoints, you might want to enforce web application firewall policies, rate limiting, protection against common web threats, or audit controls via AWS WAF.
AWS WAF integrates with Elastic Load Balancing Application Load Balancers (ALBs), Amazon CloudFront distributions, and Amazon API Gateway REST APIs. Amazon CloudFront is designed for caching and content delivery. Since agent invocations are real-time and dynamic, caching doesn’t apply. Amazon API Gateway adds its own authentication and request transformation layer, which can create a double-authentication problem with the built-in SigV4 and OAuth handling in AgentCore. That leaves an internet-facing ALB as the integration point: It passes headers through transparently, supports VPC-internal routing, and attaches directly to an AWS WAF WebACL. From there, you route traffic to AgentCore through a VPC Interface Endpoint for the Bedrock AgentCore data plane service.
