Docker adds cloud sandboxes so coding agents run off the laptop

Cloud sandboxes run on Docker-managed compute with their own credentials and network policies, billed pay-as-you-go apart from model charges.

Docker Sandboxes run AI coding agents in isolated environments either on a developer's own machine or on Docker-managed cloud infrastructure, reached through a single CLI. Cloud sandboxes run on Docker-managed compute without local virtualization, keeping separate credentials, network policies and lifecycle controls from local sandboxes. Local sandbox compute and the CLI are free; cloud sandbox compute is pay-as-you-go, with model provider charges billed separately. Organization admins can centrally manage sandbox network, filesystem and MCP policies for local sandboxes across developer machines.
