September 22, 2026AWS Strands harness on Azure: five defaults to change first
AWS released Strands harness on 21 September 2026, an open-source Python and TypeScript agent harness that AWS says cuts token cost by 28% and that can run on Azure Container Apps. Out of the box it calls Amazon Bedrock, approves every tool call and keeps memory in a local folder, so Swedish and EU Azure teams need to change five defaults before any company data goes near it.
