Docker, Inc

Packed room for Docker CISO, Mark Lechner at LeadDev London! His session, 'Ship 10x Code Safely With Agents', focused on a challenge many teams are already running into: how to close the trust gap between AI-generated code and production systems without compromising security. Strong signal that the conversation is moving beyond code generation and toward what it actually takes to ship AI-assisted software safely.

One command. Total host filesystem compromise. In issue 2 of 'AI Coding Agent Horror Stories', Ajeet Singh Raina breaks down the infamous rm -rf ~/ incident, where an agent wiped a developer’s home directory while trying to clean up an old repo. The important part is not the typo. It’s the execution model behind it. The post walks through why these failures keep happening, as well as the architectural shift teams are starting to make: moving agents into isolated execution environments where the blast radius is contained by design.

You’ve probably had this moment: an agent is doing exactly what you asked, but suddenly you’re wondering what else it can access. Justin Mitchel of Coding for Entrepreneurs walks through Docker Sandboxes and the SBX CLI, covering the questions most developers have when getting started, what to expect from the sandbox model, and where it differs from traditional containers. Specifically, you’ll come away with a better understanding of disposable environments, multiple workspaces, Git workflows, and how sandboxes fit into modern development workflows -  whether you’re evaluating them for the first time or already running agents day to day.

Agents are changing the assumptions that containers were built around. In this new post, Docker Captain Vladimir Mikhalev breaks down why autonomous agents represent a fundamentally different workload class - one that is unpredictable, privileged, and constantly mutating its environment. Using a real Claude Code migration against a production codebase, he explores: • Why traditional container trust models break down • Why Docker moved toward microVM isolation • Where the real security boundary actually lives • What developers still need to review, even inside a sandbox If you’re already using coding agents, this helps explain why isolation is becoming a first-order problem, and why “it works” is no longer the same thing as “it’s safe.” Read →

If you’re in London for LeadDev or AI DevCon, come by on June 2 before the week kicks off. Most AI talks stop at "here's what we built." This one starts at "here's what can go wrong - and how we ship it safely anyway." Docker and Black Duck are bringing together engineers and security practitioners to dig into exactly this.

Containers can feel simple on the surface, but there’s a lot happening under the hood. Techquickie teamed up with Docker Captain Bret Fisher for a fun breakdown of containers, Docker Hub, and the Linux fundamentals behind modern app development. Bret brings great practical insights throughout the video, especially around the lower-level mechanics that make containers portable, lightweight, and such an important part of developer workflows today. Great watch for developers, homelabbers, and anyone curious about containerization. https://lnkd.in/eSjy-7bS

AI agents get a lot more useful once they can actually run things. They also get a lot more dangerous. Bijan Bowen walks through Docker Sandboxes on macOS, covering isolated execution, network controls, local AI integration, and how to create environments where agents can operate without risking the host system.

London, we’re ready! Docker is heading to LeadDev London (LDX3) on June 2-3, where 3000 engineering leaders, platform teams, and CTOs come together to shape the future of software delivery. Visit Booth #314 to see how Docker is evolving beyond containers into the infrastructure layer for AI-native development: • MCP tooling for connected agent workflows • Isolated sandboxes for coding agents • Local-first LLM inference • Governance and control for AI systems at scale If you're leading engineering teams through the next era of AI-native development, let’s talk. 📍 Booth #314 Join us: https://bit.ly/49mK84m

AI is putting infrastructure back at the center. Redpoint's 2026 InfraRed 100 report highlights the companies helping define the next phase of cloud and AI infrastructure, and we’re proud to see Docker included. As agents become part of how software gets built and shipped, the need for trusted, secure, developer-first infrastructure only gets more important. Thanks to Redpoint for including Docker in this year’s cohort!
