About

Agent Substrate is an open-source runtime for operating isolated, stateful agent and code-execution sandboxes on Kubernetes. It coordinates actor and worker lifecycles, places active workloads on a shared pool of ready capacity, and can suspend idle environments while preserving memory and filesystem state for later resumption. Sandboxes use gVisor or Cloud Hypervisor microVM isolation, with per-actor identity and network controls. Agent Substrate is designed for platform and infrastructure teams building agent-hosting services, coding environments, and other workloads that execute untrusted or intermittent tasks. The core project is Kubernetes-portable; Google Cloud also provides GKE-optimized deployment tooling. Optional Filestore agent volumes can persist workspaces across suspend and resume cycles.

About

NVIDIA OpenShell is an open, secure runtime for autonomous AI agents that governs how agents execute, what they can access, and where inference traffic goes. Security is enforced in the environment rather than inside the model or application: nothing is permitted by default, permissions are granted through policy, and enforcement happens outside the agent process so it cannot be bypassed through prompting. Each agent runs in an isolated sandbox with no direct network access, limited file access, and kernel-level monitoring of system calls. A gateway acts as the control plane, authenticating users, managing sandbox lifecycles, and delivering policies, settings, credentials, and inference configuration. A supervisor runs outside each sandbox, evaluates network requests against policy at the binary, destination, method, and path levels, and provides credentials only when allowed.
