Docker Code Execution Capability in Semantic Kernel

[anu43]

Does Semantic Kernel provide Docker code execution functionality similar to AutoGen? If not, are there plans to implement this feature in the future?

Hi @anu43, thanks for your question. In SK, we have a few options to run code safely, similar to what AutoGen provides:

• You may use our Azure Container Apps Dynamic Sessions Plugin in either Python or C#. Here's the Python example: https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/tree/main/python/semantic_kernel/core_plugins/sessions_python_tool. With this Azure resource, one can run code safely in a sandboxed Python environment.
• You may use an (Azure)OpenAIAssistantAgent that built on top of OpenAI's Assistant v2 APIs and allows for safe code interpreter use: https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/python/samples/getting_started_with_agents/step9_assistant_tool_code_interpreter.py
