I may be a bit late to the “time to interactive” agent sandbox party, but I wanted to make sure our hypervisor absolutely MOGGED everyone else. 10x faster than Firecracker and 425x faster than Cloud Hypervisor. agx.so is the best agent infra platform, period.

Benchmarking the Substrate Hypervisor vs Firecracker and Cloud Hypervisor.

For warm restores, Substrate is 10x faster than Firecracker and 425x faster than Cloud Hypervisor

Once the sandbox providers figure out performance and scale, the next hills to climb will be: - agent/harness integration (ie. Shelley from @exe.dev) - agent to agent communication (ie. side channels between your sandboxes) - agent tracing integrations (think raindrop AI)

I think that workload portability will be the next big AI sandbox unblocker. With the ridiculous wave of sandbox compute being deployed right now, having the ability to move long-running workloads between nodes (spot instances!) or even clouds is *the* silver bullet for both availability and cost.

In-kernel filesystem are going to destroy the FUSE ecosystem. Bringing your custom logic into the VFS directly is absolutely incredible for performance and latency.

Nice that one can use network-bypass techniques without crazy vendor frameworks or kernel mods. Even cooler that one can recreate iptables functionality like this for faster inter-host networking

People aren’t ready for the next blog post from @loopholelabs.io If you thought the XDP post was interesting (linked below) this next one is going to blow your mind. Here’s a hint: What do chess engines and NAT’s have in common?

I'm getting more and more excited about drop-in, frictionless infrastructure. Lots going on in observability, containers, cloud compute, etc. eBPF is part of it, so is monkey patching. Some interesting ones: @loopholelabs.io, @polarsignals.com, junctionlabs.io ﹩, subtrace.dev ﹩

I think the most excited thing about this blog post is the one we get to publish next - a deep dive into how Architect works under the hood. There were so many “impossible” problems we had to solve to make Architect a reality - and now that we have I’m having a blast explaining how we did it.

This looks super cool. Get up to 75% cost-savings of using spot instances without data loss or interruption. My mental model of what this does is the equivalent of vSphere vMotion, but for spot instance workloads running in the Cloud.

New blog post! Run any application on Spot Instances with zero downtime and 75%+ cost savings - and no code changes required. Architect eliminates the reliability concerns that previously made Spot Instances impractical for production workloads. ⬇️ Link in comments ⬇️

Hard won #eBPF lesson: bpf_redirect doesn’t work between interfaces where the sender has an xdp program loaded in native mode and the other has one loaded in generic mode (only with some cloud/os pairs)

All I can say is, prepare to have your mind blown 🤯 @pojntfx’s talk from @KubeCon_ last year is pretty famous at this point, but it doesn’t come close to what we’ll be demoing this time. Cloud-Native VMotion is here, and you’ll be able to see it *live* during this talk.
