Docker
Docker provides containers and secure sandboxes for AI agents and application workloads.
About Docker
Docker is a development tool for building and running containers and isolated environments for AI agents and application workloads. It provides sandboxes, governance controls, and container images intended for running autonomous agents and modern software.
With Docker, you can run agent sessions in MicroVM isolation on a laptop or in the cloud, with network and filesystem controls at runtime. You can manage sandbox and MCP policy from a central console with identity-bound audit logs, and use minimal, signed images and MCP servers that are continuously patched. Docker Desktop provides containers and development workflow for building an app from a file to a running container, with downloads for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The platform is described as OCI-compliant and platform-independent and works with existing images, registries, and CI.
It suits developers and development teams that build containerized applications or run AI agents and need isolation, policy controls, and audit records.
