Observed (live, us-east-1, 2026-07-31, ADR-021 P1 verification run)
cdk destroy of the agent stack hung >1h40m and ended DELETE_FAILED: two service-managed agentic_ai ENIs (AgentCore runtime) remained attached to the platform VPC's private subnets after the runtime resource was deleted, blocking deletion of both private subnets and the runtime SG. The stack had to be left in DELETE_FAILED (zero-cost residue: VPC shell, 2 subnets, 1 SG) pending eventual ENI release and a delete retry.
AWS::BedrockAgentCore::Memory cannot be deleted while in CREATING — a teardown racing a slow Memory creation wedges.
Impact
Any operator tearing down a deployment (ephemeral stacks, #72's scheduled cleanup) hits multi-hour destroy times or DELETE_FAILED states through no fault of their own.
Proposal
- Investigate whether AgentCore ENI release can be awaited or forced (custom resource that waits/detaches on stack deletion, similar to VPC-lambda ENI cleanup patterns)
- Guard Memory deletion on reaching a stable state
- At minimum: document the expected destroy latency + retry procedure in the developer guide
