AWS published a blog post detailing two architecture patterns to secure Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime using AWS WAF. Both patterns use an internet-facing Application Load Balancer (ALB) with AWS WAF and route traffic through a VPC Interface Endpoint. Pattern 1 adds a Lambda proxy for full request control, while Pattern 2 targets VPC Endpoint ENI IPs directly to reduce latency.
Why it matters: This provides enterprise customers with validated, secure access patterns for Bedrock AgentCore, closing direct-access backdoors and supporting both SigV4 and OAuth authentication.

A contractor for Meta flushed bacteria-contaminated water into public sewers during construction of a new AI datacenter in Wyoming. The incident led Cheyenne water authorities to implement stricter safety regulations on wastewater disposal from such projects. Meta stated it was working with officials to be a 'good neighbor' and that drinking water supplies were not affected.
Why it matters: This incident highlights environmental risks associated with rapid AI infrastructure development and the importance of regulatory oversight.
