Description
Cloudflare rebuilt its Containers product to run agent-driven sandboxes. Containers now start 6x faster, agents can pick each sandbox's image and instance type at runtime, and filesystem snapshots are in public beta, all controlled from a Durable Object.

Could you build this?
No Building hyper-fast serverless container sandboxes with runtime image selection, filesystem snapshots, and edge-native isolation requires deep Linux kernel, hypervisor, and distributed cloud infrastructure engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires custom low-level microVM/hypervisor management (e.g., Firecracker, gVisor, or custom runc forks), copy-on-write snapshotting file systems (like overlayfs/zfs), and global networking mesh orchestration. The hard parts are achieving sub-100ms cold starts, secure multi-tenant memory isolation, and distributed state persistence across edge points of presence. Requires top-tier systems, Linux kernel, and cloud infrastructure engineers.
