Stop Managing Sandbox Fleets for Cloud Agents, Argues gakonst: Go Harness-First
andreisavu · x · 2026-11-12
gakonst argues that in H2 2026, managing fleets of sandboxes for cloud agent infra is obsolete: run the harness out of the sandbox on a virtualized bash and filesystem, use code mode, and reach for sandboxes only when doing something heavy — not for editing files or simple data operations.
Other developers strongly agree, reflecting a shift in agent infra consensus from per-agent disposable VMs toward lightweight virtualization with on-demand sandboxing.
