On Tuesday, Red Hat principal software engineer Sally O'Malley released Tank OS, an open source tool designed to make it easier to deploy and manage OpenClaw agents (AI programs that run on local computers and take autonomous actions) more safely.
Tank OS loads OpenClaw onto Red Hat's Fedora Linux OS in a Podman container (a rootless, isolated computing environment) and makes it a bootable image; it includes state management, API key storage, and allows multiple instances on one machine without sharing credentials or access to other running programs.
O'Malley is an OpenClaw maintainer working with creator Peter Steinberger on the open source project; her role focuses on making OpenClaw work better in enterprise use cases and on Red Hat's Linux operating system flavors, and she built Tank OS with the intent to help IT professionals manage fleets of OpenClaw agents on corporate computers using the same container management practices they already use.
