# Agent Cloud

> Specialized cloud infrastructure for persistent agents.

> **Agent Cloud** is specialized cloud infrastructure for persistent agents:
> durable workspaces, resumable execution, sandboxed tools, model access, event
> streams, checkpoints, and per-instance metering.

Ordinary cloud infrastructure supplies compute, storage, networking, and
databases. Agent Cloud services add the runtime needed to preserve agent
instances and their work across sessions.

An [Agent Application Platform](/concepts/platform) sits above that
infrastructure. It may use an Agent Cloud, provide the same services itself, or
assemble them from ordinary cloud components. The platform handles project
packaging, releases, instances, identity and authority, fleet operations,
distribution, costs, billing, and monetization.

An Agent Cloud can support more than one model, harness, or framework.

Current platforms cover different parts of this layer. Section 17 of [the
paper](/paper) compares Karta, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Vercel Eve, and Pickaxe.
