OpenClaw : AI Agent Automation Stack

Important: For step by step guide on how to setup this vm,please refer to our Getting started guide

OpenClaw VM is a pre-configured, cloud-based virtual machine designed to help you quickly deploy and run advanced AI agents with minimal setup. It combines the power of OpenClaw with a fully optimized runtime environment, enabling users to automate workflows, execute system-level tasks, and integrate AI into real-world operations.

Built for flexibility and performance, the solution supports both CPU and GPU deployments, allowing teams to align infrastructure with their specific AI workloads.

About OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework that extends beyond traditional prompt-based systems. It enables AI agents to interact directly with operating systems, execute commands, manage files, and handle multi-step processes autonomously.

Solution Components

The VM comes pre-installed and configured with:

OpenClaw (fully optimized)

Ollama for local large language model execution

Pre-installed dependencies and runtime environment

Optional GPU support for accelerated workloads

The environment is ready to use immediately after deployment, eliminating manual installation and configuration effort.

Deployment Options

This solution supports both CPU and GPU configurations, depending on workload requirements:

GPU Instances

Recommended for compute-intensive AI workloads

Significantly improves performance for local model inference using Ollama

Enables faster response times and smoother execution of complex agent workflows

CPU Instances

Suitable for API-based AI integrations using providers such as OpenAI , Anthropic , Google Gemini etc

Recommended baseline configuration: 4 vCPU / 16 GB RAM

Cost-efficient for lightweight and externally processed workloads

Note: GPU is not mandatory for all use cases; however, it provides substantial performance benefits, especially when running local ollama models.

Built-In Privacy & Security Advantage

OpenClaw is designed to interact with system-level resources, which can introduce risks when deployed on local machines. This VM-based approach provides a controlled and secure alternative:

Our VM-based approach turns this into a major advantage:

Complete Isolation

OpenClaw runs in a cloud VM, completely separate from your local system.

Zero Local Exposure

Your personal files, credentials, and sensitive data remain safe and untouched.

Controlled Data Access

Only the data you explicitly upload exists inside the VM.

Safe Experimentation Environment

Run advanced agents and automation workflows without fear of damaging your system.

In short: you get full system-level AI power without compromising your local security.

Why Choose This VM Solution?

Instant Productivity

Launch a fully functional AI environment in minutes, no installation, no debugging, no delays.

High Performance, On Demand

Scale from CPU to GPU depending on workload. Get the power you need, when you need it.

Zero Setup Overhead

Everything is pre-configured—from drivers to dependencies—so you can focus purely on building.

Built for Scale

Easily adapt resources for prototyping, testing, or production-grade deployments.

Consistent & Reproducible

Standardized environments ensure reliability across teams and workflows.
