# Sandbox and Orchestration Infrastructure for Agents

Tensorlake provides isolated MicroVM sandboxes that boot in hundreds of milliseconds, with memory and filesystem preserved across suspend/resume.
Get setup in a few minutes, and start a sandbox in a few seconds.

Sandboxes can be used to run agent harnesses, run tool calls or even as VMs for running coding agents, builds and IDEs.

## How it works

Sandboxes are created on-demand via API calls, and they are MicroVMs backed by Firecracker and CloudHypervisor. You can specify images and
resources when creating them. The default image, `tensorlake/ubuntu-minimal`, starts up in a few hundred milliseconds, while `tensorlake/ubuntu-systemd`
has a full init system and more tools and takes around 1 second to boot.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cli theme={null}
    tl sbx create
  ```

  ```python sandbox.py theme={null}
    from tensorlake.sandbox import Sandbox


    resp = Sandbox.create(
        image="tensorlake/ubuntu-minimal",
        cpus=4,
        memory_mb=8192,
    )
  ```

  ```typescript sandbox.ts theme={null}
    import { Sandbox } from "tensorlake";

    
    const resp = await Sandbox.create({
      image: "tensorlake/ubuntu-minimal",
      cpus: 4,
      memoryMb: 8192,
    });
  ```
