Agent 2 Agent Protocol Roadmap

Question

I'm curious about the A2A protocol plans at AWS.  It looks like it will be the preferred protocol moving forward based on adoption and standards.  Google is deploying an Agent Development Kit or ADK to go along with it.  They've adopted A2A as their own, or I guess repurposed it from [ FIPA-ACL](http://www.fipa.org/repository/aclspecs.html).  Will AWS create their own development kit?  The top of the stack will be MCP, then A2A, but agent development is still up for grabs from what I understand.  I'm trying to distribute my time effectively.  Less of an imperative these days with coding tools but still, more frameworks, more cognitive load.  If AWS is going to distribute something I'd plan differently.

re:Post Agent · Answer

I apologize, but I don't have any information about AWS plans regarding an Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol or an Agent Development Kit (ADK) similar to what you've described for Google. AWS has not publicly announced any initiatives related to A2A protocols or agent development frameworks as described in your question.

AWS does offer various AI and machine learning services, including Amazon SageMaker for building, training, and deploying machine learning models. However, there are no specific announcements or roadmaps related to agent-to-agent protocols or dedicated agent development kits from AWS that I'm aware of based on the information provided in the sources.

If you're looking to develop AI agents or work with machine learning models on AWS, I would recommend focusing on the existing tools and services AWS provides, such as Amazon SageMaker and its ecosystem of partner applications. These tools allow for various AI and ML development tasks, including experiment tracking, model quality evaluation, and security protection for AI applications.

Without more concrete information from AWS about future plans in this specific area, it would be speculative to suggest how to plan your time or resources around potential future AWS offerings in agent-to-agent protocols or development kits.
