The `aws_bedrockagent_agent` now has a `prepare_agent` flag, so the null resource should be unnecessary now.

Thanks for your comment!

This new argument is only part of the solution, as changes to action groups still requires a PrepareAgent call. There is also a similar case with knowledge base attachments. Nonetheless it's a good idea to add the argument so there's one less dependency - I'll update the blog post and code example soon.

Hopefully I can get to adding similar arguments to the action group and KB resources, unless there are takers :)
