Sandboxes unleash agents by giving them secure, fully functional computers where they can tackle diverse tasks with minimal setup. This talk explores the architectural challenges of building an agent sandbox cloud. We compare runtime isolation technologies and their trade-offs, examine persistence and storage as the next major unlock for agent capabilities, and discuss the key decisions involved in orchestrating and scaling sandboxes.
