Docker

Docker is the leading platform for building, shipping, and running applications in containers — lightweight, portable, self-contained environments that package code with all its dependencies. Docker containers have become the standard unit of deployment for modern software, including AI applications and agent runtimes.

In the agentic economy, Docker plays a critical role as the execution environment for AI agents. Agent sandboxing — running agents in isolated containers where they can execute code, install packages, and interact with tools without affecting host systems — relies heavily on container technology. Platforms like E2B and many agent frameworks use Docker-style containers as their execution substrate.

Docker's containerization technology is foundational infrastructure that enables the secure, reproducible deployment of AI agents at scale.
