This is issue 1 of a new series called Coding Agent Horror Stories where we examine critical security failures in the AI coding agent ecosystem and how Docker Sandboxes provide enterprise-grade protection against these threats. AI coding agents are everywhere. According to Anthropic's 2026 Agentic C...

We’re excited to announce the general availability of Custom Catalogs and Profiles for managing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. These two complementary capabilities fundamentally change how teams package, distribute, and manage AI tooling.  Custom MCP Catalogs let organizations curate and dist...

On April 15, NIST announced a prioritized enrichment model for the National Vulnerability Database. Most CVEs will still be published, but fewer will receive the CVSS scores, CPE mappings, and CWE classifications that container scanners and compliance programs have historically relied on. The change...

Introducing Docker AI Governance: centralized control over how agents execute, what they can reach on the network, which credentials they can use, and which MCP tools they can call, so every developer in your company can run AI agents safely, wherever they work. Your laptop is the new prod Agents ar...

Whether you are a software engineer, a product manager, or a designer, this quote should fundamentally change how we approach our daily routine. We are no longer just building interfaces; we are creating environments where agents can operate autonomously with minimal human interaction. What could be...

We've all been there: you need to generate a few images for a project, you fire up an AI image service, and suddenly you're wondering what happens to your prompts, how many credits you have left, or why that "safe content" filter rejected your perfectly reasonable request for a dragon wearing a busi...

The complexity of modern containerized applications often leaves developers drowning in a sea of "noise"—vulnerabilities that exist in the file system but pose zero actual risk to the application. The integration between Black Duck and Docker Hardened Images (DHI) provides a definitive answer to thi...

I work on Coding Agent Sandboxes, aka “sbx” at Docker. The project provides secure, microVM-based isolation for running AI coding agents like Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, Docker Agent and Kiro. Agents get full autonomy inside a sandbox (their own Docker daemon, network, filesystem) without touching y...

In November 2025, a team self-hosting Langfuse, an open-source LLM observability platform, on Kubernetes uploaded their ClickHouse image to AWS ECR as part of their production preparation. They found that the pipeline scanner had returned three critical vulnerabilities - not in ClickHouse, but in th...

Catching the KICS push: what happened, and the case for open, fast collaboration In the past few weeks we've worked through two supply chain compromises on Docker Hub with a similar shape: first Trivy, now Checkmarx KICS. In both cases, stolen publisher credentials were used to push malicious images...

Last week, we launched Docker Sandboxes with a bold goal: to deliver the strongest agent isolation in the market. This post unpacks that claim, how microVMs enable it, and some of the architectural choices we made in this approach. The Problem With Every Other Approach Every sandboxing model asks yo...

We're coming up on a year since launching Docker Hardened Images (DHI) this May, and crossing a milestone earlier this month made me stop and reflect on what we've actually been building. Earlier this month, we crossed over 500k daily pulls of DHIs, and over 25k continuously patched OS level artifac...

This post is a collaboration between Docker and Arm, demonstrating how Docker MCP Toolkit and the Arm MCP Server work together to scan Hugging Face Spaces for Arm64 Readiness. In our previous post, we walked through migrating a legacy C++ application with AVX2 intrinsics to Arm64 using Docker MCP To...

We recently announced the integration between Mend.io and Docker Hardened Images (DHI) provides a seamless framework for managing container security. By automatically distinguishing between base image vulnerabilities and application-layer risks, it uses VEX statements to differentiate between exploi...

The software supply chain is under sustained attack. Not from a single threat actor or a single incident, but from an ecosystem-wide campaign that has been escalating for months and shows no signs of slowing down. This week, axios, the HTTP client library downloaded 83 million times per week and pre...

Docker Hub is quickly becoming the home for AI models, serving millions of developers and bringing together a curated lineup that spans lightweight edge models to high-performance LLMs, all packaged as OCI artifacts. Today, we’re excited to welcome Gemma 4, the latest generation of lightweight, stat...

Docker Desktop is one of the most widely used developer tools in the world, yet for millions of enterprise developers, running it simply hasn’t been an option. The environments they rely on, such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) platforms and managed desktops, often lack the resources or capa...

Back in October, we showed how Docker Model Runner on the NVIDIA DGX Spark makes it remarkably easy to run large AI models locally with the same familiar Docker experience developers already trust. That post struck a chord: hundreds of developers discovered that a compact desktop system paired with ...

Agents have crossed a threshold. Over a quarter of all production code is now AI-authored, and developers who use agents are merging roughly 60% more pull requests. But these gains only come when you let agents run autonomously. And to unlock that, you have to get out of the way.That means letting a...

Hello, I’m Philippe, and I am a Principal Solutions Architect helping customers with their usage of Docker. I wanted a lightweight way to automate my IT news roundups without burning through AI credits. So I built a Docker Agent skill that uses the Brave Search API to fetch recent articles on a topi...

We wanted to provide you information about a security incident that we became aware of that affects customers who use the Aqua Security Vulnerability scanner (Trivy) across multiple distribution channels including Docker Hub, GitHub, and npm. Between 18:24 UTC on March 19, 2026 and 01:36 UTC on Marc...

Docker Captains are leaders from the developer community that are both experts in their field and are passionate about sharing their Docker knowledge with others. “From the Captain’s Chair” is a blog series where we get a closer look at one Captain to learn more about them and their experiences.  To...

End-to-end (E2E) tests are particularly important for native applications that run on various platforms (Android/iOS), screen sizes, and OS versions. E2E testing picks up differences in behavior across this fragmented ecosystem. But keeping E2E tests reliable is often more challenging than writing t...

Claude Code is quickly becoming a go-to AI coding assistant for developers and increasingly for non-developers who want to build with code. But to truly unlock its potential, it needs the right local infrastructure, tool access, and security boundaries. In this blog, we’ll show you how to run Claude...

Agents have enormous potential to power secure, personal AI assistants that automate complex tasks and workflows. Realizing that potential, however, requires strong isolation, a codebase that teams can easily inspect and understand, and clear control boundaries they can trust.  Today, NanoClaw, a li...

Building agents is now a strategic priority for 95% of respondents in our latest State of Agentic AI research, which surveyed more than 800 developers and decision-makers worldwide. The shift is happening quickly: agent adoption has moved beyond experiments and demos into early operational maturity....

It's 11 PM. You've got a JIRA ticket open, an IDE with three unsaved files, a browser tab on Stack Overflow, and another on documentation. You're context-switching between designing UI, writing backend APIs, fixing bugs, and running tests. You're wearing all the hats, product manager, designer, engi...

It’s hard to find a team today that isn’t talking about agents. For most organizations, this isn’t a “someday” project anymore. Building agents is a strategic priority for 95% of respondents that we surveyed across the globe with 800+ developers and decision makers in our latest State of Agentic AI ...

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we sat down with Cecilia Liu, Senior Product Manager at Docker, for three questions about the vision and strategy behind Docker’s MCP solutions. From shaping product direction to driving AI innovation, Cecilia plays a key role in defining how Docker enables se...

Your Package Manager, Now with a Security Upgrade Last December, we made Docker Hardened Images (DHI) free because we believe secure, minimal, production-ready images should be the default. Every developer deserves strong security at no cost. It should not be complicated or locked behind a paywall. ...
