This article introduces Cloud Sandboxes, a microVM-based infrastructure allowing autonomous coding agents to run long-horizon tasks on scalable, always-on cloud compute rather than local hardware. The core advancement shifts the operational constraint from model capability to resource availability, enabling unattended execution of multi-hour development workflows while maintaining strict isolation for security.
Introducing Cloud Sandboxes: Start on Your Laptop, Finish in the Cloud

Run agents on your laptop, in the cloud, and move between them with one command, all safely. Earlier this year we launched Docker Sandboxes: microVM environments where coding agents can work autonomously in a safe way.
Run agents on your laptop, in the cloud, and move between them with one command, all safely. Earlier this year, we launched Docker Sandboxes: microVM environments where coding agents can work autonomously and safely. Since then, agents have started taking on long-horizon work: tasks that run for hours, not minutes. Agents need a new place to work. Today, we’re introducing Cloud Sandboxes: the same microVM-based sandbox, running on Docker-managed compute, with one command to move between them. The most important change in coding agents over the past year is that they can work for much longer. Tasks that…
