Platform
Features
- Create isolated Linux Firecracker microVMs from templates through an HTTP API
- Run commands and stream output through separately authenticated command sessions
- Manage sandbox pause, resume, suspension, snapshots, and recovery
- Self-host Apache-2.0 software with network and credential controls outside agent workspaces
Languages
Best for
Known limitations
- The documented local installation requires Linux x86_64, KVM, privileged Docker, and additional host devices; it does not run directly on macOS
- Apache-2.0 covers the software, not free hosted compute; users deploy, fund, and operate their infrastructure
- The public 0.8.0 baseline is pre-1.0; minor releases can introduce breaking service API changes
- The local Kind setup uses development credentials and must remain private rather than being exposed as a production deployment
