boat Adds Cross-Size VM Resizing
boat now lets developers stop a VM sandbox and resume or fork it at another machine size while preserving filesystem state. This gives agent workloads a practical way to scale up for heavy tasks and scale down to reduce costs.
This is a useful infrastructure upgrade because sandbox capacity can now follow workload demand without rebuilding environments.
- –Resume and fork support small, default, large, and xlarge machine sizes
- –Files, installed packages, and snapshots persist across resizing
- –Resizing is snapshot-based, so running processes and memory do not survive
- –CPU and RAM remain coupled to fixed machine tiers rather than independently configurable
- –The feature strengthens boat’s fit for persistent coding agents and repeatable build environments
