InstaVM provides a production control plane and cloud runtime for AI agents, giving each workload an isolated Linux environment rather than a conventional container. Its hardware-isolated Firecracker microVMs are designed to boot in under 200 milliseconds and support code execution, deployment, research, evaluations, reinforcement learning, and computer-use workflows.

The platform combines runtime, storage, networking, secrets management, and policy controls. Developers can build environments from OCI images, snapshot and clone prepared VMs, and run tasks as ephemeral sandboxes, persistent sessions, or long-running agents. Persistent volumes retain files and data across VM lifecycles and can be checkpointed or shared with parallel workers.

Security and operations features include default-deny egress controls, proxy-based secret injection, read-only mounts, execution logs, network traces, and runtime auditing. InstaVM also offers public or private port sharing, custom domains, and a full Linux desktop with browser and terminal access for automated computer use. Teams can manage VMs through its CLI, Python or TypeScript tools, REST APIs, or SSH, and deploy from supported coding-agent workflows.
