The AgentsPoppy app is free, and runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. VM-Poppy installs from inside it — the app asks your permission, shows exactly what will be created in your cloud, and can remove all of it later.

What you'd be asked to approve

Before VM-Poppy can touch your AWS account, AgentsPoppy shows this exact grant and waits for your yes. This preview is computed from the poppy's reviewed package by the same assessor code the app runs — it is the approval screen, shown early.

Worth a look, not alarming: nothing here can change or delete anything beyond VM-Poppy's own resources.

Can read any EC2 resource in your account. AWS offers no way to narrow this: these actions accept no resource limit at all, so this is the tightest form the grant can take.

Can create, change and delete only EC2 resources tagged as its own — it cannot change or delete any EC2 resource with a different tag. It can also use existing EC2 resources it did not create — such as a network or image — when creating its own, but cannot change or delete them.

Nothing can be approved from a web page. The real Approve lives in the AgentsPoppy app on your machine, where this grant meets your actual AWS account — and where you can reject it, or tear down everything it created, at any time.

About VM-Poppy

VM-Poppy launches virtual machines in your own AWS account from reusable configurations — pick a size, an OS and a software list, and it deploys, installs everything automatically, and tears down (or self-destructs) when you are done. Every change is scoped to the VMs it created; no IAM access, ever.

What you get

Included, free

✓Reusable configurationsDefine size, OS and software list once; every deploy after that is a clean box.
✓Let an AI size it for youCopy the helper prompt into any AI, say what the box is for, and it answers with the OS, size, packages and what it will cost.
✓Linux and WindowsPick the image you need — the configuration is the thing you keep.
✓Software installs itselfYour software list becomes cloud-init on Linux or PowerShell on Windows, at first boot.
✓Self-destructing by defaultEphemeral configurations tear down on a timer, so nothing is left running by accident.
✓No AWS access inside the boxThe machine holds no credentials — ideal for running code you don't fully trust.
✓Pay only while it runsBilled by AWS per second, straight to your account — stop the box and it stops costing you. Every size shows its current hourly rate in the app before you deploy.

Pricing

Prices are read live from the developer's own listing. Whatever this poppy costs, the cloud resources it creates are billed by AWS directly to you — AgentsPoppy never marks them up.

Data & privacy

Nothing leaves your cloud. The developer declared that no data this poppy handles is ever sent outside the AWS account it runs in. You can verify that claim yourself — the source is public.
