AWS Launches Agent Practical Course Focusing on Production Challenges

On November 11, 2026, InfoQ reported that Amazon Web Services has launched a four-session practical course on building AI agents, titled "Agent 创造季之 Agent 速造局 4×1 实战课". The course focuses on the engineering gap between a working agent demo and a production-grade system, addressing what the report calls the key breakpoints on the path from Demo to production.

Throughout November, the course runs over four consecutive weeks, with one session per week, each lasting one hour. It covers four core areas: rapid agent construction, quality evaluation, security defense, and Token cost optimization. At its center is an Evaluation-First philosophy, which embeds quality verification into the agent's entire lifecycle rather than treating it as a one-time gate before launch.

The report lays out three bottlenecks teams face when moving agents into production. Quality evaluation requires five dimensions of measurement to support continuous iteration. Security must cover four layers of defense, including tool invocation and data access. Cost governance demands a dynamic balance among effectiveness, efficiency, and spend, especially as call volumes climb. As developers move from experimental agents to real business applications, attention is shifting from how to build an agent quickly to how to build a good one.

Sessions combine difficulty analysis, live Demo walkthroughs, and real case studies, aiming to equip developers with practical engineering skills for taking agents from prototype to stable, reliable operation. The report does not disclose plans for the course beyond its November run.
