Most AI agents today run locally on individual machines. They trigger manually, stay visible only to the person running them, and die as soon as a laptop closes or loses connection.
Moving agents to shared infrastructure changes everything:
- Triggers shift from manual runs to event-based or scheduled execution.
- Environments move from local machines to isolated, ephemeral sandboxes.
- Audit trails shift from zero visibility to centralized logs for the whole team.
This shift allows agents to handle work independently without forcing anyone to change how they write code day to day.
