Anbox Cloud documentation¶

Anbox Cloud runs Android workloads at scale across public cloud, private cloud, and bare-metal infrastructure.

It supports high-density, fast-starting containerized Android in LXD system containers and virtualized Android in Cuttlefish virtual machines for a standard, unmodified Android environment with stronger isolation.

Teams can launch reproducible Android environments on demand without the overhead of maintaining and scaling physical device fleets.

Anbox Cloud serves cloud gaming and application streaming providers, Android developers and CI teams, automotive and embedded developers, OEMs, and enterprises building managed Android services. Get in touch with the Anbox Cloud team to talk through your Android workload, deployment, or evaluation.
