Docker Sandboxes are isolated cloud microVMs that let developers run agentic workloads safely and continuously without relying on a local machine. Each sandbox provides its own kernel and filesystem, so agents can install software and run tests without affecting other sandboxes or the host. Sandboxes run in the background, support multiple concurrent agents with one sandbox per agent, and bill by the second from start to stop. The offering targets coding and automation workflows that need persistent, reproducible, and isolated execution environments for agents to complete tasks while developers close their laptops.
A limited-time promotion gives new Docker Agentic Platform signups a one-time $250 compute credit (signup required September 22-26, 2026; card required; one per account; credits expire in six months). Pricing tiers are listed: Micro (1 vCPU, 2 GB, $0.070/hr), Small (2 vCPU, 4 GB, $0.140/hr), Medium (4 vCPU, 8 GB, $0.280/hr), Large (8 vCPU, 16 GB, $0.560/hr), XL (16 vCPU, 32 GB, $1.118/hr). Docker provides examples of capacity: $250 can run four Medium agents seven hours per day for 30 days or about 3,500 fifteen-minute runs. The credit covers sandbox compute only; model API calls and agent subscriptions are billed separately. Terms and other restrictions apply.
