Docker
Safe AI agent execution with sandboxing and governance.
What is Docker?
Docker provides a unified platform for safely running AI agents with full isolation and governance. It uses microVM sandboxing and network policies to secure agent execution, while offering identity-bound audit logs and policy controls through a centralized console. Designed for security teams and developers deploying AI agents across laptops and cloud infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions about Docker
How do I get started with Docker Sandboxes?
You can install via brew with 'brew install docker/tap/sbx' and then use 'sbx run <agent>' to launch a sandboxed AI agent.
What isolation does Docker provide for AI agents?
Docker uses microVM isolation for every agent session with network and filesystem locked down at the runtime, extending container security principles to agents.
Do I need to migrate my existing Docker setup?
No. Docker agents run on your existing images, registries, and CI infrastructure with no new ecosystem or migration required.
How does governance work in Docker AI Governance?
It provides a unified console for sandbox and MCP policies, identity-bound audit logs, and zero per-machine setup while remaining invisible to developers.
Can I run agents locally before scaling to production?
Yes. Agents start on your laptop as a development environment and can scale anywhere while maintaining the same security guarantees.
