DigitalOcean Launches Managed Agents With Pay Per Use CPU And 16,000 Tools
AI28 days ago
DigitalOcean is now offering a managed runtime for AI agents in public preview, allowing developers to deploy frameworks like Claude Code and LangGraph without configuring separate sandboxes. The service uses isolated Firecracker microVMs that preserve session state while pausing during idle periods to stop CPU and memory charges. These paused sessions resume in about 305 milliseconds, and a 2-vCPU agent averaging 25% utilization costs $0.06 per hour compared to $0.126 for full allocated capacity.
