Sandboxes for running untrusted code

Untrusted code is code you did not write and cannot review first, such as code from a model or from a user of your product. 62 of the 79 providers listed here give each sandbox its own kernel.

Updated

What running untrusted code needs

Four things to look for in the table below

  • Strong isolation

    The sandbox should keep the code away from the host kernel. Look at the isolation type.

  • Short-lived sandboxes

    Start a fresh sandbox for each run and delete it afterwards.

  • A session limit

    A limit stops code that never ends. Look at the session limit and the idle timeout.

  • A low price for short runs

    Many small runs add up. Look at the hourly cost and the free tier.
