Systems: Software Environment

Operating System & Stack

Operators can run on any OS image. The platform can boot a VM or container with Windows, Linux, etc., depending on the Operator’s needs. (Each VM includes a full guest OS, providing full operating-system virtualization.) Developers can pre-install libraries, drivers, and tools in the image – for example, GUI automation libraries, robotics drivers, or language frameworks. This means an Operator logic written once can run on any OS: the platform’s tooling handles the OS differences.

Configuration & Networking

The platform configures networking and access for each machine. It can allocate IPs, set up VPNs or private networks between agents, and enable secure SSH or remote desktop connections if needed. Licensing management is also handled here: for example, ensuring Windows VMs have proper licenses, or that any proprietary software used by an Operator is licensed. Network rules and firewalls can be set per environment to restrict what the Operator can access.

Secrets & Security

Sensitive credentials (API keys, passwords, certificates) are stored in a secure secret store. When an Operator needs a secret (say, credentials to log into an email server), the platform injects it at runtime without exposing it in plaintext. Standard best-practices are applied at the OS level: for instance, enforcing least-privilege user accounts, applying security patches, and enabling host-based firewalls. These measures help ensure that even if an Operator is compromised, attackers have minimal access to the rest of the system.
