Docker Launches Cloud Sandboxes, Extending Secure AI Agent Isolation Beyond the Laptop
Article excerpt
PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Docker, Inc.®, the trusted platform for building software in the agentic era, today announced Docker Cloud Sandboxes, a new solution for secure, isolated AI agent execution that enables complex agentic workflows to continue running in the cloud long after a developer’s laptop shuts down. Launched at WeAreDevelopers North America, Docker Cloud Sandboxes let organizations run agentic workloads at scale without tying up developers' hardware, provisioning their own infrastructure, or paying for unused capacity. Available today, Docker Cloud Sandboxes give developers a straightforward path to move their agentic workflows to the cloud, whether extending an existing local sandbox setup or starting a new build. As agentic workflows mature, AI agents are running longer, working unattended, and taking on more complex, higher-stakes work that increasingly needs to continue whether or not a developer is at their machine. Developers need the freedom to run any agent on any model and the ability to move execution off individual laptops without giving up the isolation and control that make agents safe to run. Docker Cloud Sandboxes extend Docker's secure local sandbox isolation into the cloud, giving developers the flexibility to run AI agents wherever it makes sense for the workflow, without having to make a binary choice between...
