boat
Boat is a cloud-based platform that provides persistent virtual machines running Ubuntu, tailored for AI agents and automated workflows. Each virtual environment includes SSH and SCP access, Docker support, a unique IP address, a virtual desktop with 60fps performance, and quick disk cloning from snapshots. Essential tools like Docker, VS Code, Chrome, GitHub CLI, Rust, Node.js, and Bun are pre-installed, enabling immediate use without additional setup. Boat accommodates agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, and provides SDKs for Python and TypeScript, along with an HTTP API and CLI. The pricing begins at $20 per month following a 7-day free trial, with a per-second billing system and no charges when the sandboxes are not in use.
