Running AI Agents in microVMs

Team Workflows Fedora Magazine
1

Article Summary:

Describe how to run microVMs using only packages from Fedora official repositories. The purpose is to isolate AI agents from the host system.

Article Description:

Given the amount of recent kernel bugs resulting in permission escalations, I decided that containers are no longer enough to isolate AI Agents such as Claude code from my host system. The article describes:

  • How to run podman with krun backend
  • Pitfalls on the way:
    • CPU/RAM resources
    • outdated libkrun version in Fedora 44

Do I need to click the “Submit for Review” button, or is it OK like this?

Thanks Martin.

It is OK. You do not need to use the “Submit for Review” button.

There is a series of articles that got in just ahead of you that will probably bump your article back about a week. Except for release day, we try not to publish more than one article per day.

Thanks!

Ok, perfect :). I just wanted to make sure it is not waiting for my input.

@msehnout Sorry if it seemed we were ignoring you but the editing has been done and I just added a featured image.

The editing didn’t require any significant change to your text so I believe it is ready to go. Now would be a good time for a last review, if you wish to do so.

As things stand it will be published either this Friday, 12 June, or on Monday, 16 June. I will let you know when the date is set.

Hello, @rlengland , not at all. I was just making sure it is complete from my side.

I took a look at the article and the featured image and it all looks good :+1:
