Running Android in the cloud has always required trade-offs. While cloud infrastructure offers scale and efficiency, Android expects control over its kernel, system services, and hardware behavior.

Anbox Cloud addressed this challenge by making Android a scalable, containerized workload, enabling fast startup, high density, and efficient operations for application-centric use cases such as streaming and testing.

Now, Anbox Cloud goes further.

With the introduction of fully virtualized Android, you can run complete Android system images in isolated virtual machines, alongside containerized Android, on the same platform.

This unlocks a new class of workloads. Platform teams can now develop, validate, and customize Android systems in the cloud with the same fidelity as physical devices, while keeping the scalability and automation of cloud-native infrastructure.

Why this matters

As Android expands beyond applications into full platforms, from automotive systems to embedded devices, the need for system-level control and validation becomes essential.

Virtualized Android brings that capability to the cloud by allowing Android to run with full kernel ownership and system control, enabling high-fidelity validation of platform behavior. It also makes it possible to reuse existing Android system images without modification, while scaling system-level workloads using cloud infrastructure.

All of this happens within the same Anbox Cloud environment, with consistent APIs, tooling, and workflows.
