Anthropic has released a self-hosted version of Claude Managed Agents, enabling enterprises to deploy the complete AI agent management system on private clouds or on-premises servers instead of relying on Anthropic's cloud infrastructure. Currently available in private beta, the system addresses security and compliance concerns when AI agents require access to enterprise code and internal servers.
The architecture comprises three components: a dispatch server managing task workflows, isolated execution sandboxes for running terminal commands and code modifications, and a PostgreSQL database storing agent configurations and conversation history. A three-tier key separation design ensures that compromised sandboxes cannot access model credentials. Enterprises can choose model services from Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or custom gateways based on compliance requirements. Anthropic recommends running worker processes in disposable containers to prevent system damage from agent errors.
