Description
AgentEnv supports ublk + OverlayBD and leverages shared page cache to accelerate startup and reduce memory overhead. We understand that the E2B team has refrained from adopting this approach due to security and compatibility concerns. However, the industry is increasingly focused on per-server resource oversubscription—especially memory—and AgentEnv holds an inherent advantage in this regard.
