I spent the past few weeks using Centaur, sharing here. I believe that building your own control plane and managing agents on your own infrastructure is increasingly accessible, and will only become more compelling as agent processes scale.

What is Centaur? open-source control plane (rust api and Postgres DB) for running and owning your own agent infrastructure. Designed for teams, but (imo) - seems a good architecture for anyone managing agents at increasing scale.

TLDR - don’t build the system into the agent/harness, make the agent one component inside a deterministic control plane that you own and manage.

Give it an isolated sandbox (kubernetes) with a thin set of tools and workflows and the ability to write and execute code, keep the harness thin, keep the secrets out of the box (iron.proxy)
