Cloud VMs with a Built-In REST API for AI Agents operates in show hn launch.

Hey HN,If you’re building local AI agents (or using tools like Cursor/Claude Code), giving them a place to safely execute code and manipulate files is a headache. Running untrusted LLM-generated code directly on your machine or local Docker is risky, and managing remote SSH keys for an automated agent is clunky.I built Oblien to solve this. It provides instant, hardware-isolated cloud VMs, but the actual interesting part is how you interact with them: the Runtime API.Every workspace runs an internal HTTP/WebSocket server on port 9990. Instead of establishing an SSH connection, your local agent just makes standard API calls to control the remote machine securely.It exposes everything an agent

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.
