+# Amazon Bedrock AgentCore with Amazon OpenSearch Serverless NextGen
+
+This pattern deploys an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime running a containerized Python Strands agent that searches an Amazon OpenSearch Serverless NextGen collection using opensearch-py.
+
+Learn more about this pattern at Serverless Land Patterns: https://serverlessland.com/patterns/agentcore-opensearch-serverless-nextgen-cdk
+
+Important: this application uses various AWS services and there are costs associated with these services after the Free Tier usage - please see the [AWS Pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/) for details. You are responsible for any AWS costs incurred. No warranty is implied in this example.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- [Create an AWS account](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/developer/registration/index.html) if you do not already have one and log in. The IAM user that you use must have sufficient permissions to make necessary AWS service calls and manage AWS resources.
+- [AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2.html) installed and configured
+- [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) installed
+- [Node.js 20+](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) installed
+- [AWS CDK v2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/getting-started.html) installed (`npm install -g aws-cdk`)
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed and running
+- CDK bootstrapped in your target account and region: `cdk bootstrap aws://ACCOUNT-NUMBER/REGION`
+
+## Supported Regions
+
+Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is available in: **us-east-1**, **us-west-2**, **eu-central-1**, **ap-southeast-2**.
+
+## Deployment Instructions
+
+1. Clone the repository and navigate to the pattern directory:
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-patterns
+    cd serverless-patterns/agentcore-opensearch-serverless-nextgen-cdk
+    ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+    ```bash
+    npm install
+    ```
+
+3. Build and push the agent Docker image to ECR:
+    ```bash
+    export AWS_ACCOUNT_ID=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text)
+    export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
+
+    # Create ECR repo (CDK will also create it, but we need it for the initial push)
+    aws ecr get-login-password --region $AWS_REGION | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com
+
+    # Build and push
+    cd src/agent
+    docker build -t agentcore-opensearch-agent .
+    docker tag agentcore-opensearch-agent:latest $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/agentcore-opensearch-agent:latest
+    docker push $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/agentcore-opensearch-agent:latest
+    cd ../..
+    ```
+
+4. Deploy the stack:
+    ```bash
+    export CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text)
+    export CDK_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
+    cdk deploy
+    ```
+
+## How it works
+
+- **Amazon OpenSearch Serverless NextGen** collection group with scale-to-zero provides a SEARCH-type collection for document storage and retrieval.
+- **Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime** hosts a containerized Python agent built with the Strands Agents framework.
+- The agent uses the `search_documents` tool backed by opensearch-py to query the OpenSearch Serverless collection.
+- IAM roles grant the runtime permissions to invoke Amazon Bedrock models (Claude Sonnet) and access the OpenSearch Serverless collection via `aoss:APIAccessAll`.
+
+## Testing
+
+After deployment, index a sample document into the OpenSearch collection:
+
+```bash
+COLLECTION_ENDPOINT=$(aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name AgentcoreOpensearchServerlessNextgenStack --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==`CollectionEndpoint`].OutputValue' --output text)
+
+curl -X PUT "$COLLECTION_ENDPOINT/documents" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --aws-sigv4 "aws:amz:us-east-1:aoss" --user "" -d '{}'
+
+curl -X POST "$COLLECTION_ENDPOINT/documents/_doc" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --aws-sigv4 "aws:amz:us-east-1:aoss" --user "" -d '{"title": "Hello World", "content": "This is a test document for the AgentCore search agent."}'
+```
+
+Then invoke the AgentCore Runtime endpoint to test the search agent.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+⚠️ **Warning**: Deleting the stack will permanently remove the OpenSearch Serverless collection and all indexed data. The ECR repository and all pushed images will also be deleted.
+
+```bash
+cdk destroy
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+User → AgentCore Runtime → Strands Agent → opensearch-py → OpenSearch Serverless NextGen Collection
+                              ↓
+                     Bedrock (Claude Sonnet) for reasoning
+```
