The container class shares the host kernel. Only the VM classes get their own.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Blaxel Sandboxes\n\n1. Close WebSocket and terminal connections when done. An open connection keeps the sandbox active and billed\n2. Set a TTL or idle expiry on throwaway sandboxes. The default is to keep them\n3. Set `forbiddenDomains` or an allow list at creation, with `network.firewall` for tools that ignore proxy settings. Both can only be set when the sandbox is created\n4. Retry only on WORKLOAD_UNAVAILABLE. The error reference says other codes won't succeed on retry\n5. Connect to `\u003csandbox URL\u003e/mcp` with your API key instead of wrapping the REST API in tools yourself\n\n### Daytona\n\n1. Pick a Linux VM class for untrusted code or when memory must survive a pause. Container sandboxes stop and archive instead\n2. Set autoStopInterval yourself. The 15-minute idle default can stop a sandbox while the agent is still thinking\n3. Give the agent a key without `delete:sandboxes` if it shouldn't destroy work\n4. Read `Retry-After-{throttler}` on a 429 before retrying sandbox creation\n5. Check the organisation's tier before relying on outbound calls from inside the sandbox\n\n## Other comparisons with Blaxel Sandboxes or Daytona\n\n- [Blaxel Sandboxes vs Cloudflare Sandbox SDK](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blaxel-sandboxes-vs-cloudflare-sandbox-sdk.md)\n- [Blaxel Sandboxes vs E2B](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blaxel-sandboxes-vs-e2b.md)\n- [Blaxel Sandboxes vs Modal Sandboxes](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blaxel-sandboxes-vs-modal-sandboxes.md)\n- [Blaxel Sandboxes vs Runloop Devboxes](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blaxel-sandboxes-vs-runloop.md)\n- [Blaxel Sandboxes vs Vercel Sandbox](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blaxel-sandboxes-vs-vercel-sandbox.md)\n- [Cloudflare Sandbox SDK vs Daytona](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-sandbox-sdk-vs-daytona.md)\n- [Daytona vs E2B](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/daytona-vs-e2b.md)\n- [Daytona vs Modal Sandboxes](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/daytona-vs-modal-sandboxes.md)\n- [Daytona vs Runloop Devboxes](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/daytona-vs-runloop.md)\n- [Daytona vs Vercel Sandbox](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/daytona-vs-vercel-sandbox.md)\n",
