So you want to roll your own application platform. All you need is:

Linux
Docker
Kubernetes
Istio
Prometheus
Fluentd
Grafana
Jaeger
Harbor
Open Policy Agent
Vault
GitHub Actions and Argo CD

Oh, almost forgot, you're also going to need servers, people, and glue. Bring lots of glue.

Today we're introducing Cloud Sandboxes: same microVM isolation as Docker Sandboxes on your laptop, same CLI, always-on Docker-managed compute.

Close your laptop. Keep the agent running. Move between local and cloud with one command. $250 credit for new accounts: docker.com/sbx-promo

Today at WeAreDevelopers, Docker and the Linux Foundation are announcing a collaboration around the Docker Sandbox Kit Specification: an open standard for declaring what an agent may do, where it may reach, and what it may touch.

Open source under Apache 2.0.

Docker introduces OCI-based Kits to package agents and their guardrails
Docker has announced Docker Cloud Sandboxes, a new solution for secure, isolated AI agent execution that enables complex agentic workflows to continue running in the cloud long after a developer’s laptop shuts down. Launched at WeAreDevelopers North America, Docker Cloud Sandboxes let organizations run agentic workloads at scale without tying up developers’ hardware, provisioning their own infrastructure, or paying for unused capacity. Docker Cloud Sandboxes give developers a straightforward path to move their agentic workflows …

From the original report discussed in the NYT article above about the OpenAI attack on Hugging Face:

“Agents attempted to remove traces of their work”

“An agent referred to server resources and credentials
as ‘LOOT’”

New article: running a coding agent (docker-agent + a tiny 4b model)
inside an isolated sandbox with a built-in Web IDE.

All this powered by #sbx.

Ask it to write Go code, explain structs, save files. All local. All contained.
