 ## 🏗️ Deployment
 
-**Quick Start:** Use the [Bedrock AgentCore Starter Toolkit](https://github.com/aws/bedrock-agentcore-starter-toolkit) for rapid prototyping.
+### AgentCore CLI (Recommended)
 
-**Production:** [AWS CDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_bedrockagentcore-readme.html).
+The fastest way to deploy your agent to Bedrock AgentCore. Install via [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aws/agentcore):
+
+```bash
+npm i -g @aws/agentcore
+```
+
+Then create and deploy your agent:
+
+```bash
+agentcore create --name MyAgent --defaults
+cd MyAgent
+agentcore deploy
+```
+
+The CLI handles packaging, infrastructure provisioning, and deployment automatically.
+See the [AgentCore CLI documentation](https://github.com/aws/agentcore-cli) for full details.
+
+### AWS CDK (Advanced)
+
+The AgentCore CLI generates AWS CDK under the hood. For full infrastructure-as-code control, customize the generated CDK project directly or refer to the [L1 CDK documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_bedrockagentcore-readme.html).
