## AI overview

Chainguard describes using minimal Wolfi-based cloud workstations to provide standardized, ephemeral development environments for engineers. The workstations use regularly rebuilt and attested images, automatic timeouts, and Terraform-managed resources to keep packages current and reduce configuration differences.
