Check the control path before the GovCloud pilot

Turn the August AgentCore Memory, Policy, and Harness launch into explicit availability, data, identity, enforcement, deployment, and approval questions. The result identifies missing evidence; it never certifies compliance.

Planning result

Current stage

Discovery

Resolve the highlighted evidence gaps before a bounded pilot.

Unresolved gates

  • Verify service access and supported APIs in the authorized account.
  • Record the launch, Region, and GovCloud differences evidence.
  • Complete the data-flow, authority, failure-test, and rollback review.

This local checklist does not access AWS, validate a configuration, prove data residency, determine control inheritance, certify compliance, estimate cost, or authorize production.

Five gates

Service availability is the start of readiness

01

Availability

Verify us-gov-west-1 access, APIs, quotas, account eligibility, and current documentation.

02

Data paths

Map memory, model, tool, identity, log, file, support, and external endpoint traffic.

03

Authority

Separate caller, actor, session, harness role, Gateway identity, Policy, and downstream authorization.

04

Failure tests

Test cross-tenant denial, stale memory, LOG_ONLY drift, enforcement changes, and cleanup.

05

Approval

Keep technical readiness separate from compliance, records, security, and production approval.

AgentCore GovCloud readiness questions

It turns selected planning facts into a local list of unresolved availability, data, memory, policy, and deployment gates. It does not inspect an AWS account or determine compliance.
No. The form runs in the browser and sends no AWS request. Verify service access, APIs, quotas, logs, and configurations in the authorized account using approved procedures.
No. The output is a planning aid. Security, compliance, privacy, records, procurement, model, data-owner, and change-management approvals remain separate decisions.
AWS documents customer-configured Gateway targets, identity providers, browser destinations, and Code Interpreter internet access as paths that may send traffic to customer-selected endpoints outside GovCloud.
