Docker announced Cloud Sandboxes on September 24 at WeAreDevelopers North America, running the same microVM isolation and policies as its local sandboxes on Docker-managed infrastructure, so an agent keeps running after the laptop closes. Per-second billing from Micro (1 vCPU / 2GB, $0.07/hr) to XL (16 vCPU / 32GB, $1.118/hr), with idle time counted and model usage billed separately. "Kits" package the agent, its tools and its access rules as a standard OCI image, and Docker says it will submit the Kits spec to the CNCF. (announcement) For anyone whose unattended runs die because a Mac went to sleep, that's a priced alternative.

Apache-2.0, rootless, single static binary, no daemon, claiming about 3.5ms container start against Docker's roughly 297ms and zero resident memory when idle (GitHub). It reads OCI images and docker-compose files but deliberately skips Docker's API, overlay networks and Swarm,...
xintaofei/codeg is a Rust desktop app, self-hosted server and Docker image pulling transcripts from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi and Grok Build into a shared multi-agent workspace, speaking both ACP and ADE. It's at 3,125 stars with 223 open issues, created February 9, pus...
Docker's formal entry into agent infrastructure isn't just another tool launch — it's a platform-level event that could reshape how agents are packaged and deployed. Docker Engineering released docker-agent, an official AI Agent Builder and Runtime written in Go, reaching 2,46...
Docker's official agent plugin. YAML-defined multi-agent systems with MCP, RAG, memory. Agents ship as OCI container images through Docker Hub. Agent distribution follows the container playbook. docker/docker-agent
Running untrusted agent code safely has been a persistent headache. Docker adds startup latency and configuration overhead. VMs are heavier. Most developers, myself included, end up running agents with their real credentials on their real filesystem because the friction of san...
Docker Sandboxes is a standalone CLI, no Docker Desktop required, wrapping each coding agent in a microVM with its own kernel, filesystem, network, and Docker daemon. Out-of-the-box support for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, Codex, OpenCode, and Kiro. --dangerously-skip...
