Cold-start costs and idle compute now force teams to size pools deliberately instead of guessing.
Freezing and resuming sandbox state cuts long-running agent failures in half.
Untrusted AI code requires kernel isolation that standard containers can't provide.
AI agents need sandboxes that boot in milliseconds, not seconds.
Faster starts don't guarantee better isolation—the tradeoff matters more than the benchmark.
