  • Why: The third of the sandbox-infrastructure talks; useful as the architecture-and-trade-offs companion to the two Core picks above.
  • What: The architectural challenges of building an agent sandbox cloud: a comparison of runtime isolation technologies and their trade-offs, persistence and storage as the next major unlock for agent capabilities, and the key decisions in orchestrating and scaling sandboxes (from abstract only).
  • How: A design/technology comparison rather than measured results — part 1 of a two-part session.
  • Where applicable: Teams designing sandbox infrastructure rather than consuming it; the abstract is thin (no measurements), so calibrate expectations accordingly.
