Fly.io raises $25M and installs ex-Docker CEO to build 'computers for agents' rather than disposable sandboxes
GlobeNewswire (Fly.io)·medium signal
Fly.io announced on July 24 a $25M Series D co-led by Dell Technologies Capital and Intel Capital, with a16z, EQT, Geodesic and YC participating; Martin Casado and Daniel Docter join the board, and Scott Johnston (previously CEO of Docker) joins as CEO. The explicit bet is that agents need durable disk, secure connectivity to other systems, and scale to millions of instances — not the ephemeral execution sandboxes that defined the first wave of agent infra. For builders, this is the second infrastructure vendor this month arguing that statelessness is the wrong default for agent runtimes.
