Amazon opens AWS Nitro Sandboxes for isolated workloads

Amazon said on 9 Nov 2026 that AWS Nitro Sandboxes are available as lightweight virtual machines managed by the Nitro Hypervisor. An EKS pod, an ECS task, or another workload, including an AI agent, can run in its own hardware-isolated machine on a shared EC2 instance, and cryptographic attestation can gate the release of secrets. The feature is offered at no extra charge on most Nitro-based instances in all commercial AWS regions.
