Alicloud Acs Agent Sandbox

Manage ACS Agent Sandbox

Operate ACS Agent Sandbox through Kubernetes custom resources and the E2B-compatible API. Treat the sandbox workload as untrusted and preserve a reproducible evidence trail under output/alicloud-acs-agent-sandbox/.

Start here

1. Confirm whether the target is an ACS cluster, an ACK cluster using ACS compute, or an ACK One fleet.
2. Confirm kubeconfig context, namespace, region, desired image, resource size, network boundary, and requested lifecycle action.
3. Run the read-only inspection before changing an existing environment:

python3 skills/compute/acs/alicloud-acs-agent-sandbox/scripts/inspect_agent_sandbox.py \
  --output output/alicloud-acs-agent-sandbox/inspection.json

4. Read the reference that matches the task:

• Start from an empty account/network or release the complete stack: references/bootstrap-and-teardown.md
• Create, connect, pause, resume, checkpoint, clone, upgrade, restart, or delete: references/creation-lifecycle.md
• Manage teams, API keys, quotas, or MySQL key storage: references/tenancy-storage.md
• Mount and validate OSS or NAS storage: references/storage-mounts.md
• Configure gateway routing, TrafficPolicy, L7 egress policy, credential injection, or network expansion: references/networking-security.md
• Monitor, inspect, alert, or diagnose: references/observability-inspection.md
• Look up CRDs, phases, conditions, labels, and annotations: references/crd-reference.md
• Deploy OpenClaw or operate through ACK One: references/platform-patterns.md
• Verify currency or follow an upstream procedure: references/sources.md

5. State the planned mutation and its blast radius. Obtain confirmation before delete, destructive replacement, fleet-wide policy, credential-store migration, gateway cutover, or upgrade operations.
6. Apply the smallest scoped change, wait for the documented terminal condition, rerun inspection, and save sanitized outputs.

Non-negotiable safety rules

• Never print, log, commit, or place API keys, runtime tokens, JWTs, AccessKeys, DSNs, hashPepper, kubeconfigs, or generated migration SQL in evidence.
• Do not use kubectl describe pod or dump Deployment/Pod arguments for Sandbox Manager: some addon versions place the admin API key in container arguments. Use the redacting inspector and bounded JSONPath queries; rotate the key immediately if it is exposed.
• Keep automountServiceAccountToken: false unless the workload explicitly needs Kubernetes API access.
• Use a dedicated sandbox vSwitch and enterprise security group. Deny metadata service 100.100.100.200/32 and private networks except for explicitly required endpoints.
• Do not rely on TrafficPolicy alone when a container has root, privileged mode, NET_ADMIN, SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, or CAP_SETGID; these privileges can bypass in-namespace ACLs.
• Treat the public code-interpreter:v1.6 and OpenClaw examples as validation images, not production-hardened images.
• Require HTTPS for E2B production access. Prefer the native protocol with a wildcard domain and certificate; use the private protocol for simplified test integration.
• Treat China mainland ICP filing as a public-ALB preflight gate. A domain can work briefly before delayed enforcement returns HTTP 403 or resets TLS.
• Do not assume paused sandboxes can always resume. Capacity shortage and account arrears can prevent wake-up; WebSocket, SSE, and gRPC connections must reconnect.
• Do not upgrade a claimed sandbox without a data plan. SandboxUpdateOps rebuilds the Pod and does not retain rootfs, memory, or IP.
• Do not change a live PV authentication mode in place. Relevant volumeAttributes are immutable; recreating a PV can interrupt OSS access.
• Enable the csi runtime only on storage-enabled SandboxSets. It injects a privileged container and a /var/run/csi hostPath, which changes the isolation boundary.
• Keep NAS mount targets in the Sandbox VPC, use NFSv3, and never delete a NAS mount target while a Sandbox still has it mounted.
• Quota enforcement fails open when Redis is unavailable. Alert on this condition and do not describe quota as a hard security boundary during Redis failure.

Core creation path

For an empty-account deployment, use $aliyun-vpc-manage and $alicloud-acs-cluster as described in bootstrap-and-teardown.md. Then use this sequence for the Agent Sandbox layer:

1. Enable Agent Sandbox for the cluster and verify component prerequisites from creation-lifecycle.md. Confirm managed-coredns is active before creating any component or Sandbox that needs cluster service discovery.
2. Enable RRSA before Agent Identity, then install a supported Ingress Controller, ack-agent-identity when required, ack-agent-sandbox-controller, and ack-sandbox-manager. Grant AliyunCSManagedAgentSandboxRole only through the documented authorization flow.
3. Configure the manager domain, admin API key, TLS, and the Ingress listener. Keep the admin key in a secret manager or protected component configuration.
4. Create a SandboxSet warm pool with explicit requests and limits, ACS labels, automountServiceAccountToken: false, and only required runtimes.
5. Wait until status.availableReplicas == spec.replicas.
6. Allocate with E2B Sandbox.create() or a SandboxClaim. Prefer claims for declarative Kubernetes workflows.
7. Verify Sandbox status.phase=Running, Ready=True, the claimed label, runtime API operations, and network policy behavior.
8. Set an explicit timeout, pause policy, or shutdown time. Never leave temporary sandboxes without a lifecycle owner.

Minimal warm-pool shape:

apiVersion: agents.kruise.io/v1alpha1
kind: SandboxSet
metadata:
  name: code-interpreter
  namespace: default
spec:
  replicas: 4
  runtimes:
    - name: agent-runtime
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        alibabacloud.com/acs: "true"
        alibabacloud.com/compute-class: agent-sandbox
        alibabacloud.com/compute-qos: default
    spec:
      automountServiceAccountToken: false
      containers:
        - name: sandbox
          image: <REGION-LOCAL-HARDENED-IMAGE>
          resources:
            requests: {cpu: "1", memory: 1Gi, ephemeral-storage: 30Gi}
            limits: {cpu: "1", memory: 1Gi}
      terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 30

E2B client path

The official ACS documentation currently requires E2B Python SDK versions below 2.25.0; its validated example pins e2b-code-interpreter==2.7.0 and e2b==2.24.0. Recheck the official page before changing these versions.

python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install "e2b-code-interpreter==2.7.0" "e2b==2.24.0"

Set E2B_DOMAIN and E2B_API_KEY outside source code. Exercise run_code, files.write/read, and commands.run, then explicitly pause or kill the test sandbox.

For private acceptance, port-forward service/sandbox-manager on port 7788, install the OpenKruise customized E2B patch package, set E2B_DOMAIN=localhost:7788, and pass --private-protocol. This uses HTTP only on the local tunnel and is not a production ingress design.

Run the bundled smoke test for a repeatable acceptance and guaranteed cleanup attempt:

python3 skills/compute/acs/alicloud-acs-agent-sandbox/scripts/e2b_smoke_test.py \
  --template code-interpreter \
  --output output/alicloud-acs-agent-sandbox/e2b-smoke.json

For an existing OSS or NAS PV, enable the csi runtime on the target SandboxSet and pass the mount as E2B metadata:

python3 skills/compute/acs/alicloud-acs-agent-sandbox/scripts/e2b_smoke_test.py \
  --template code-interpreter \
  --storage-type nas \
  --storage-pv pv-nas-sandbox \
  --storage-mount-path /mnt/shared \
  --output output/alicloud-acs-agent-sandbox/e2b-nas-smoke.json

For OSS Agent Identity, also pass --credential-provider and --agent-name. See storage-mounts.md; the script never accepts or records AccessKeys.

Inspection workflow

Run inspection before and after a change. For manual follow-up, use bounded queries:

kubectl get sandbox,sandboxset,sandboxclaim,checkpoint,sandboxupdateops -A
kubectl get pods -n sandbox-system -o wide
kubectl get events -A --field-selector type=Warning --sort-by=.lastTimestamp
kubectl get trafficpolicy -A
kubectl get globaltrafficpolicy
kubectl get securityprofile -A
kubectl get globalsecurityprofile

Classify findings as:

• Critical: credential exposure, metadata/private-network access without justification, missing isolation, destructive operation in progress without backup, or an admin path exposed without authentication.
• High: component not ready, failed lifecycle operation, unavailable warm pool, quota Redis fail-open, gateway errors, or repeated reconciliation failures.
• Medium: version prerequisite not met, missing monitoring, insufficient vSwitch/security-group capacity, or policy gaps.
• Info: capacity, phase distribution, claim utilization, configured policies, and current topology.

Output And Evidence

Save the inspection JSON, redacted manifests, command transcript, and final verification beneath output/alicloud-acs-agent-sandbox/<operation>/. A task is complete only when:

• the requested resource reaches its documented terminal state;
• readiness, lifecycle, network, storage, and authentication checks relevant to the task pass;
• secrets are absent from evidence;
• rollback or cleanup ownership is explicit;
• the final report lists resource names, namespaces, observed versions, changes, risks, and evidence paths.
