Which one, for what

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter BB

Good for A team already on AWS that wants agent code to run under IAM, inside a VPC and beside S3 data, for sessions up to eight hours.

Ahead on

  • Reliability, 85 against 63
  • Schema & documentation, 81 against 72
  • Agent ergonomics, 75 against 61
  • Security & auth, 87 against 39
  • Payments & pricing, 30 against 20
  • Maintenance & community, 65 against 58
  • Transparency & trust, 70 against 25

Also in its favour

  • Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better
  • Free to start without a card

Watch for

No pause, resume or snapshot. Session files are removed when the session ends, and persistence needs a customer-owned S3 Files or EFS mount inside a VPC

Morph Cloud D

Good for Agents that need to checkpoint and fork a running machine with memory intact, for parallel attempts, evaluations or reinforcement learning rollouts.

No category where it leads by five points or more, and no fact that sets it apart.

Watch for

No terms of service, privacy policy, DPA or subprocessor list found on morph.so or cloud.morph.so

Verdicts

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter

Each session runs in its own microVM with 2 vCPU, 8 GB and a 10 GB disk for up to eight hours, and IAM can scope access to one interpreter. Sessions cannot be paused or resumed, and an AWS account with IAM set-up is needed before a first call.

Morph Cloud

Pause and snapshot keep memory and running processes, and one call branches an instance into several copies. A public OpenAPI file covers 69 operations. No terms of service, privacy policy or security page was found, the free plan includes no compute credit, and the changelog holds one entry from November 2024.

Before you call either

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter

  1. Start a session with StartCodeInterpreterSession, then pass its id in the x-amzn-code-interpreter-session-id header on every InvokeCodeInterpreter call
  2. Set sessionTimeoutSeconds when starting. The default is 900 seconds and the maximum is eight hours, and the session ends itself at the timeout
  3. Stop sessions when done. Billing runs per second while code is busy, and a session left open counts against the 1,000 concurrent-session quota
  4. Use startCommandExecution, getTask and stopTask for work longer than the 15-minute synchronous request limit
  5. Retry ThrottlingException (429) and InternalServerException (500) with exponential backoff, and treat ServiceQuotaExceededException, returned as HTTP 402, as a quota to raise

Morph Cloud

  1. Set ttl_seconds and ttl_action when starting an instance. Nothing in the docs stops an instance with no TTL from billing MCUs
  2. Pass auth_mode: api_key when exposing an HTTP service. The default is none, which makes the URL public
  3. Enable wake_on_ssh before calling exec on an instance that may be paused. There is no separate exec wake setting
  4. Use /api/instance/list and /api/snapshot/list with page and limit (default 50, maximum 1,000). The plain list routes return everything
  5. On a 503 from snapshot, branch, pause or reboot, wait for the Retry-After value before repeating the call
