Kimi builds production AI agent infrastructure on Alibaba Cloud (ACK + ACS Agent Sandbox + Lindorm)
Kimi rolled out multiple agent-based products and built an end-to-end agent infrastructure with Alibaba Cloud to handle high-concurrency requests, fast sandbox startup, state preservation, secure isolation, and low-cost elastic scaling. The architecture combines Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK), ACS Agent Sandbox, Lindorm multi-model database, MicroVM isolation, NetworkPolicy, and Fluid to support production AI agents and model training workloads.

- Support tens of thousands of concurrent AI agent requests with strict isolation.
- Ensure fast sandbox startup, preserve state for long-running tasks, and scale elastically at low cost.
- Built an agent infrastructure on ACK and ACS Agent Sandbox for instant elasticity and ultra-fast sandbox launches.
- Used hibernation-wake up-clone and memory snapshotting to preserve and replicate agent state.
- Used Lindorm for table, search, vector, and AI retrieval/memory with RRF; applied MicroVM and network/storage isolation.
- Handled tens of thousands of sandboxes per minute at peak.
- Cut startup times by over 50%.
- Reduced latency, improved post-training efficiency, and lowered total cost of ownership.
Architecture
Kimi and Alibaba Cloud built an end-to-end agent infrastructure using ACK for instant node elasticity and scheduling, ACS Agent Sandbox for ultra-fast sandbox startup, hibernation and wake-up cloning to preserve state, Lindorm multi-model database for table/search/vector/AI retrieval, and MicroVM, NetworkPolicy, and Fluid for isolation and security.
