Overview
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.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
