Where LLMs, AI Agents, and MCP tools meet DevOps and platform engineering. How can we humans use non-deterministic, often hallucinating LLMs to automate our infrastructure and help us with the job of software lifecycle management? I’m Bret Fisher, and this is the Agentic DevOps podcast. After the invention of AI Agents and the MCP standard in late 2024, I started this podcast in early '25 with a n... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI Agent Sandboxing with Nono
Q: What challenges do you see in production for organizations adopting agent-based workflows, and how does nono address them?
Key challenges include managing blast radius, preventing exfiltration, and handling dynamic approvals. Nono mitigates these with tool-specific sandboxes, governed access via phantom tokens, end-to-end auditing, and an approval backend that can plug into policy engines or Slack workflows for scale.
AI Agent Sandboxing with Nono
Q: How does nono differ from traditional containerization and what does a typical onboarding look like for a developer?
Nono operates in the host kernel with native sandboxing rather than requiring full VMs or containers. Onboarding can be as simple as selecting a code agent profile and running nono pull followed by nono run, with deeper customization available for experts through composable JSON profiles and fine-grained grants.
AI Agent Sandboxing with Nono
Q: Tell me how you got interested in sandboxes and what origin story shaped your work on locking down binaries?
The motivation came from real-world security incidents and the need to protect developers' machines while enabling automation. Luke explains how Sigstore and broader software supply chain security informed a design that emphasizes minimal privilege, fine-grained tool sandboxing, and a scalable policy framework to safely run agents.
