This is excellent timing. I've been running production agent workloads on K8s for a few months now and the isolation patterns you've implemented are exactly what prevents midnight debugging sessions.

A few things I've found that pair well with container isolation:

*Resource constraints*: Not just CPU/memory, but ephemeral storage too. Agents can generate surprising amounts of log/output data during long-horizon tasks. I set 5Gi ephemeral limits by default.

*Network policies*: Your Helm chart should probably include a default NetworkPolicy that blocks egress except to specific API endpoints. Agents will enumerate and try to reach anything they can see.

*Memory persistence*: The trickiest part. OpenClaw's memory system (MEMORY.md + memory/.md) assumes a persistent filesystem. Running in K8s means you need either: - StatefulSet with persistent volume - External memory store (S3/minio with sync back) - Network file system for the workspace directory

I went with StatefulSet + EBS volume for the workspace. The agent restarts with Pods, but memory persists.

*Observability*: Since you're isolating the agent, you should also be exporting metrics. The heartbeat/execution loop in OpenClaw can emit structured logs that Prometheus can scrape if you add a sidecar.

Curious - did you tackle the CDP (browser automation) piece? Running Chrome in a sidecar container and connecting over the Pod network works, but the USB/keyboard simulation pieces get weird in containers.
