InstaVM

InstaVM, sponsored by Microsoft and GitHub, provides a cloud built for AI agents, offering hardware-isolated microVMs with dedicated kernels and filesystems for safely executing agent code, complete with runtime, storage, networking, secrets, and policy controls. It delivers sub-200ms cold boot times, persistent volumes that survive VM restarts, egress control with allowlisting, and secret injection via proxy to prevent prompt injection attacks. InstaVM supports public URL deployment with custom domains, desktop and browser automation for computer-use tasks, SSH-native CLI management, local development via CodeRunner for Mac, and integrates with Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and other AI platforms. The Free tier is pay-as-you-go with $50 in starting credits and no card required; the Pro tier is $100/month plus usage charges, with both tiers including 10GB of volume storage and additional storage at $0.0002 per GB-hour.
