Designed for multi-tenant applications that execute user- or AI-generated code — such as interactive coding environments, data analytics platforms, and vulnerability scanners — it eliminates the traditional trade-off between isolation, speed, and state retention. Each user or job gets a dedicated MicroVM with its own HTTPS URL supporting HTTP/2, gRPC, and WebSockets. MicroVM images are created from Dockerfiles and can be managed via the AWS console, CloudFormation, CDK, or the Agent Toolkit for AWS. The service is available in five AWS regions today. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
