AI Agents Are Here — Learn How to Deploy on AWS (Hands-On Workshop)

In this session, we will explore what it actually takes to move AI agents from prototype to production-ready. We will cut through the AI hype and focus on the operational layer that teams need now: deployment, observability, governance, policy enforcement, and cloud-native agent management. You will see a live demo of **WSO2 Agent Manager**, built on **OpenChoreo**, and learn how open source tooling can help teams manage agents at scale without reinventing the wheel. This session is designed for builders who want to understand the future of AI deployment on AWS — not just how to create agents, but how to manage them responsibly in real-world environments. ## What This Session Will Cover * How WSO2 Agent Manager and OpenChoreo support production-grade agent management * How AI agents move from prototype to production * Why governance matters before agent workflows scale * How to deploy and manage agents in a cloud-native environment * Why open source tools matter for teams building flexible AI infrastructure ## Key Takeaways By the end of this session, you will walk away with: * Open source tools and concepts you can start exploring immediately * A clear framework for deploying and managing AI agents on AWS * A practical understanding of agent governance, observability, and policy enforcement * A live look at WSO2 Agent Manager + OpenChoreo * Strategies for managing agents across environments ## Who Should Attend? This event is for anyone who wants to grow in AI, AWS, cloud-native development, and modern technical delivery, including: * Developers, Solutions engineers, Cloud engineers * Product managers, AI strategists * Startup builders, Technical founders **Why You Need to Be Here (Uplevel Your Career!):** This isn't just another tech talk—it's a career accelerator! AI governance is currently the biggest bottleneck for enterprise AI adoption. By mastering how to safely govern and deploy agents to production, you instantly make yourself a high-value asset to any engineering team. Plus, this hybrid event is the perfect opportunity to connect, network, and collaborate with tech leaders, builders, and innovators across Houston, Austin, and beyond. Let's build the future together!
