Hermes Agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore for Hermes Agent

AWS sample that deploys Hermes Agent on Bedrock AgentCore with per-user microVMs and chat channels

What Hermes Agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore does

This AWS sample deploys Hermes Agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, running each user session in its own Firecracker microVM with automatic scaling. Hermes runs unmodified inside AgentCore containers. A small patch in app/hermes/main.py swaps anthropic.Anthropic for anthropic.AnthropicBedrock, so Claude models are reached through Bedrock with SigV4 signing and AWS IAM credentials instead of an Anthropic API key.

Chat traffic from Telegram, Slack, Discord and Feishu (Lark) arrives through API Gateway and a router Lambda, while an optional ECS Fargate gateway handles the long-lived WeChat and Feishu WebSocket connections. The infrastructure is defined as nine CDK stacks deployed in phases with scripts/deploy.sh. It covers a VPC, Bedrock Guardrails, CloudWatch dashboards, scheduled cron invocations and token usage tracking, and memory and sessions persist in an S3-backed workspace.
