[Digital Today reporter Chi-gyu Hwang] Red Hat principal software engineer and OpenClaw maintainer Sally O'Malley (샐리 오맬리) unveiled Tank OS, an open-source tool to deploy and manage OpenClaw agents more safely, TechCrunch reported on April 28.

Tank OS targets advanced users running OpenClaw on personal computers and IT staff managing multiple OpenClaw agents in enterprises. It runs OpenClaw on Red Hat's Fedora Linux in a Podman container and installs it in an isolated space separate from other programs, so it starts automatically when the computer boots.

Podman uses a rootless approach that does not grant the container permissions on the host computer, improving security. Multiple Tank OS instances can run on a single computer, and passwords or credentials are not shared between instances. No OpenClaw instance can access others running on the same computer, TechCrunch reported. It added that IT staff can update and manage large numbers of OpenClaw agents using the same methods they already use to manage containers.

O'Malley said, "OpenClaw is a powerful application, but it can be dangerous if it is not configured properly." She said she was interested in what it would look like when millions of autonomous agents communicate with one another.
