DigitalOcean Managed Agents Enters Public Preview: Pause-When-Idle Cloud Claude Code and Codex
_AustinCalvert_ · x · 2026-09-23
- DigitalOcean's Managed Agents is now in public preview: run Claude Code, Codex, or your own LangGraph agent in the cloud instead of dedicating a Mac Mini to 24/7 agent runs.
- Key economics: the runtime pauses when idle so you stop paying for compute, wakes back up in 300ms into the same session on any device, keeps API keys away from the model, and puts tools behind one governed endpoint with 75+ open and proprietary models on one bill.
- The poster declares cloud agents the future: close your laptop and the agent keeps working.
