Cursor cloud agents can now run on self-hosted machines and AWS Lambda MicroVMs
dinasaur_404 · x · 2026-09-03
Cursor now lets cloud agents execute on infrastructure you manage — dynamic machine pools inside your network or sandbox providers like AWS Lambda, Coder, Cloudflare, Daytona, E2B, Modal, Namespace, and Vercel — while Cursor still orchestrates the agent loop.
Key points:
- Cloud agents already create over 60% of PRs Cursor merges internally, with rising enterprise adoption.
- Self-hosted machines suit teams needing access to internal services, source control, custom hardware, or non-standard build pipelines.
- With AWS Lambda MicroVMs, agents run in your own AWS account: near-instant snapshot launches, idle suspension, full-state resume, strong isolation, zero fleet management.
- Cursor-hosted VMs remain the default, with per-agent isolation, secret redaction, egress controls, and signed commits.
