DigitalOcean Managed Agents enter public preview

DigitalOcean’s Managed Agents combines isolated microVM execution with governed access to 16,000+ tools, supporting Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, and LangGraph. The public preview launched September 21, 2026. [Official documentation](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/managed-agents/)

// ANALYSIS

DigitalOcean is positioning agent infrastructure as a managed cloud primitive, with flexibility across harnesses as the main differentiator.

–Harness Runtime provides persistent sessions, pause/resume/fork controls, coding sandboxes, and custom OCI images.
–Action Gateway centralizes MCP tools, connector access, credential brokering, and policy enforcement.
–Idle-agent pausing could materially improve economics for bursty workloads.
–Public preview limitations include no SLA, possible breaking changes, and no data-durability guarantees. [Preview terms](https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/mars-preview-terms)
