Docker Compose gets new features for building and running agents

Docker has updated Compose with new features that will make it easier for developers to build, ship, and run AI agents. 

Developers can define open models, agents, and MCP-compatible tools in a compose.yaml file and then spin up an agentic stack with a single command: docker compose up.

Compose integrates with several agentic frameworks, including LangGraph, Embabel, Vercel AI SDK, Spring AI, CrewAI, Google’s ADK, and Agno. 

It also now integrates with Google Cloud Run and Microsoft Azure Container Apps Service, allowing agents to be deployed to serverless environments.

Additionally, the company announced Docker Offload, which allows developers to offload compute-intensive workloads to high-performance cloud environments. “Build, test, and scale your agentic applications just like you always have locally, while Docker handles the heavy lifting behind the scenes,” Mark Cavage, president and COO of Docker, and Tushar Jain, EVP of engineering and product at Docker, wrote in a blog post. 

The company is currently offering 300 minutes of free Offload usage so that users can try it out. 

Other useful Docker capabilities for building agents include the MCP Catalog for finding tools that can be connected to agents, and Model Runner, which lets developers pull open-weight LLMs from Docker Hub, run them locally, and interact with them using OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

“The future of software is agentic, where every developer builds goal-driven, multi-LLM agents that reason, plan, and act across a rich ecosystem of tools and services. With Docker Compose, Docker Offload, Docker’s broader AI capabilities, and our partnerships with Google, Microsoft, and Agent SDKs, we’re making that future accessible to, and easy for, everyone,” Cavage and Jain wrote.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
