InstaVM Cloud Sandboxes and VMs

InstaVM is a cloud platform for running short-lived sandboxes and durable VMs, then managing access, storage, snapshots, shares, and desktop workflows around them. This skill helps with the practical operator path: create or manage compute, host apps, move data, connect over SSH, and use advanced platform APIs when needed.

InstaVM resource model

• Session is a short-lived execution sandbox.
• VM is a durable machine for longer-running work, SSH access, shares, or mounted volumes.
• Snapshot is a reusable machine image created from a VM or an OCI image.
• Share exposes a port from a session or VM.
• Volume is persistent storage mounted into a VM.
• Platform APIs include computer-use, audit, webhooks, API keys, and related control-plane features.
