Last week, we launched Docker Sandboxes with a bold goal: to deliver the strongest agent isolation in the market.
This post unpacks that claim, how microVMs enable it, and some of the architectural choices we made in this approach.
The Problem With Every Other Approach
Every sandboxing model asks you to give something up. We looked at the top four approaches.
Full VMs offer strong isolation, but g...
The narrative presented by Docker Sandboxes is a compelling response to the growing need for secure, performant environments for autonomous agents. The strongest version of this argument is that microVMs bridge the gap between the security of full VMs and the speed of containers, while avoiding the limitations of WASM isolates. The claim that this approach eliminates the tradeoff between security and usability is bold but plausible, given the technical details provided. The decision to build a n...
