Service boundaries
- [prod_only] Persistent disks and live migration (hypervisor-level storage/VM management).
- Snapshots, instance templates, and VPC networking are not yet emulated.
- instances.create/get/list/start/stop/delete: Docker-backed instance approximation exists when container runtime is available.
- disks, snapshots, templates, networking: Not supported locally. This operation is not available in LocalCloud.
- Audited metadata survives restart while the LocalCloud volume is retained
- External runtime/data-plane side effects, if any, have separate lifecycle and recovery limits.
Next steps
- AI agent local testing: prompts and endpoint routing for local workflows.
- Local cloud for AI agents: give agent-written cloud code a credentialless target.
- Compatibility: compare all 27 service guides.
- Configuration: service selection, tiers, and runtime precedence.
