Cloudflare Open-Sources Cloudflare OS With Gatekeepers and Observation Log

Published on GitHub, the code accompanies a hosted runtime kept on Cloudflare’s edge with managed services planned through partner rollouts.

Overview

  • Cloudflare has published the rebuilt Cloudflare OS as open-source code and posted two repositories on GitHub that mirror the platform it piloted internally.
  • The platform gives each user an agent workspace and isolated runtimes that let agents build and run small apps as lightweight Cloudflare Workers.
  • To limit data exposure, every agent starts with no access and must request specific resources that a service-specific Gatekeeper holds and enforces without giving credentials to the agent.
  • Cloudflare OS records an observation log of every resource an agent reads and attaches that record to outputs so Gatekeepers can check a viewer’s access before showing results.
  • The code is public but the hosted runtime still runs on Cloudflare’s global edge, with planned productization for managed hosting, development containers, Slack workspaces, and partner-led deployments.
