Ambient CI is a continuous integration system that aims to make it safe and secure to run CI on other people’s code. It runs all the code from the project under test in a virtual machine that has no network access.

Maturity: Ambient is alpha level software. It works, but is not feature complete and will change in inconvenient ways. The author uses it as their primary CI system. This web site describes what we want Ambient to become, not what it is yet.
