Docker's Agentic Platform: Sandboxes, MCP, and the Infrastructure of Autonomous Development

AI agents are only as capable as the environment they’re allowed to act in. This session introduces Docker’s purpose-built platform tools for agentic development — the infrastructure layer that lets autonomous systems do real work, safely and reliably. We’ll dive into Docker Sandboxes, which give agents secure, isolated execution environments where they can write and run code, interact with filesystems, and test outcomes without risk to your host system or production infrastructure. We’ll also explore Docker’s MCP toolkit, which provides agents with a standardized way to discover and invoke trusted tools. Together, these tools form the foundation of a trustworthy agentic platform: one where autonomous processes have exactly the access they need, and every action is contained, observable, and repeatable. Leave this session ready to wire Docker into your AI agent stack as the execution layer your agents can depend on.
