Notes on the technology behind agent workspaces. Virtualization, infrastructure, and the boundaries that make them work.

Your sandbox can now serve requests

A sandbox that can answer inbound connections without opening ports, and without routing every byte through a central proxy. How Tailcat NAT traversal works, and how it compares with frp and ngrok.

Why we chose KubeVirt for our VM sandboxes

We needed full Linux machines without a separate VM management platform. Why KubeVirt fit BoxCompute, and the tradeoffs we accept.
