Sandboxes

Launch, drive, list, and stop sandboxes — the microVMs that boot from snapshots.

A sandbox is a running microVM booted from a snapshot. Hardware-isolated, boots in under 100 ms, has its own kernel.

If you’re coming from Docker: a sandbox is the equivalent of a running container. See Concepts for the full mapping.
