Box tops 20 years of agent runtime

Agent infrastructure is shifting from short-lived containers toward always-on virtual computers, and Box is positioning itself directly in that gap.

• –Full VMs support Docker, databases, browsers, background services, and production-like repositories
• –Rapid runtime growth suggests agent platforms are moving from demos into sustained workloads
• –Snapshotting and persistent state improve recovery and resumability for long-running agents
• –The key challenge remains security: VM isolation does not prevent agents from misusing credentials or external services
