## What it is
AgentENV (AENV) is a distributed platform for running large numbers of Firecracker microVM-based agent environments across machines, with snapshot/fork support and on-demand loading of OCI-compatible images via overlaybd. It powers agentic RL training at scale, achieving fast boot/resume, high memory overcommit, and persistence to S3-compatible storage.

## Use cases
- run thousands of sandboxed agent environments across a cluster
- train LLM agents with reinforcement learning at scale
- fork a running sandbox into multiple independent environments for parallel agent workflows
- snapshot and resume microVM environments in under 100 ms
- load OCI images on demand without pre-warming every host
- overcommit guest memory to increase environment density on a host
- persist environment snapshots to S3-compatible object storage

## When to choose
- you need massive-scale, isolated Linux sandboxes for agentic RL or evaluation
- you want fast snapshot, fork, and resume of microVM environments
- your image/snapshot footprint exceeds local disk and you need on-demand loading with caching
- you run on Linux with KVM and want high environment density via memory ballooning

## When to avoid
- you need encrypted network traffic between components
- your workloads run on non-Linux hosts or lack /dev/kvm
- you only need simple containers rather than microVM isolation
- you need a managed cloud service rather than self-hosted infrastructure
