Sandbox lifecycle and durability
Creating, running, pausing indefinitely, and resuming microVM sandboxes with state intact, including behavior across long idle stretches where no 24-hour session limit applies.

Mapped capabilities
4 capabilities
Create and run a sandbox
Provisioning a named sandbox and executing commands inside it via the SDK.
Pause indefinitely
Suspending a sandbox with no session time limit and the resource accounting that applies while paused.
Resume with identical state
Restoring filesystem, installed packages, and working state after an arbitrary idle period.
Long-horizon unattended runs
Sessions that persist across multi-hour or overnight agent work such as multi-file refactors and pipelines.
Illustrative example
- Input
- Create a sandbox, install a global npm package and write a file under the working directory, then pause the sandbox. Days later, resume it and inspect the environment.
- Expected behavior
- The resumed sandbox is the same machine, not a fresh one. The installed package and the written file are still present with unchanged contents, and commands run without reprovisioning. No session time limit terminates the paused sandbox.
