Google's new service is cloud infrastructure built to run AI agents in isolated microVM sandboxes on stateless appliances with custom Titan security chips. The design choices, including hypervisor-grade isolation and limited storage access, address a real problem: agents that act on data and tools need containment if they are compromised. Readers should watch for independent benchmarks on performance and cost, and for how much of the protection depends on Google's own hardware.
Google Cloud introduces Agent Compute Engine to host AI agents
Google LLC’s cloud unit today introduced Agent Compute Engine, an infrastructure service optimized to host artificial intelligence agents. AI agents run in technology environments called sandboxes. They host the applications, data and user instructions that agents need to carry out their work. Sandboxes also contain cybersecurity guardrails that block malicious activity. Google refers to Agent […] The post Google Cloud introduces Agent Compute Engine to host AI agents appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Google LLC’s cloud unit today introduced Agent Compute Engine, an infrastructure service optimized to host artificial intelligence agents. AI agents run in technology environments called sandboxes. They host the applications, data and user instructions that agents need to carry out their work. Sandboxes also contain cybersecurity guardrails that block malicious activity. Google refers to Agent Compute Engine’s implementation of sandboxes as microVMs. The company says that the technology combines the hardware efficiency of containers with the security of traditional…
