It combines Harness Runtime, an execution environment where agent sessions run inside isolated Firecracker microVMs with sub-second startup and 200ms resume times, and Action Gateway, which provides governed access to tools like GitHub, Jira, Notion, Linear, and Postgres with centrally managed auth and approvals. It's designed to work with Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, LangGraph, and CrewAI without forcing a proprietary framework. Access currently requires an invite-only request. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is DigitalOcean Managed Agents Runtime Services (M.A.R.S.)? M.A.R.S. is a managed infrastructure service from DigitalOcean for running AI coding agents and long-running agentic workflows, currently in invite-only Private Preview. It combines Harness Runtime, which executes agent sessions in isolated Firecracker microVMs with sub-second start and 200ms resume times, and Action Gateway, which brokers governed access to tools like GitHub, Jira, Notion, Linear, and Postgres. _Teams evaluating managed runtimes for coding agents can track infrastructure announcements like this on daily.dev._ ### Which AI coding agent frameworks does DigitalOcean M.A.R.S. support? M.A.R.S. is designed to work with Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode, as well as custom agents built with LangGraph or CrewAI. It lets developers define an environment template packaging their preferred harness, dependencies, tools, and configuration rather than requiring a rebuild around a proprietary framework. _Developers comparing agent harness options can follow coverage of tools like Claude Code and LangGraph on daily.dev._ ### How does DigitalOcean protect OAuth credentials used by AI agents in M.A.R.S.? OAuth credentials are brokered through Secrets Manager and are never exposed to the model or to the execution environment where the agent runs. Action Gateway centrally manages authentication, permissions, approvals, and audit controls for agent access to services such as GitHub, Jira, Notion, Linear, and Postgres. _Anyone securing agentic workflows and credential access can follow related infrastructure updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [The runtime for all your team's agents.](https://daily.dev/posts/the-runtime-for-all-your-team-s-agents--ehn4jjccp) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Introducing Claude Managed Agents with Modal Sandboxes](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-claude-managed-agents-with-modal-sandboxes-oqf9ocaau) · Modal · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#cloud](https://daily.dev/tags/cloud), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#claude-code](https://daily.dev/tags/claude-code), [#digitalocean](https://daily.dev/tags/digitalocean) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/private-preview-digitalocean-managed-agents-runtime-services-vkuqzps49) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Private Preview: DigitalOcean Managed Agents Runtime Services","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/private-preview-digitalocean-managed-agents-runtime-services-vkuqzps49","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/private-preview-digitalocean-managed-agents-runtime-services-vkuqzps49"},"datePublished":"2026-08-25T19:06:56.655Z","dateModified":"2026-08-25T19:36:37.408Z","description":"DigitalOcean has launched a Private Preview of Managed Agents Runtime Services (M.A.R.S.), a managed infrastructure offering for running AI coding agents and...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/3312e2d276ad6fee2f88ff60f9abecd8?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/3312e2d276ad6fee2f88ff60f9abecd8?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"DigitalOcean","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"DigitalOcean","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/6e35e88c18054e53b548b4795beb6167","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/do"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/private-preview-digitalocean-managed-agents-runtime-services-vkuqzps49","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"cloud,ai-agents,claude-code,digitalocean","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"DigitalOcean","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/do"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Private Preview: DigitalOcean Managed Agents Runtime Services"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/private-preview-digitalocean-managed-agents-runtime-services-vkuqzps49#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is DigitalOcean Managed Agents Runtime Services (M.A.R.S.)?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"M.A.R.S. is a managed infrastructure service from DigitalOcean for running AI coding agents and long-running agentic workflows, currently in invite-only Private Preview.
