Restore Sandbox
Sandbox API
Restore Sandbox
Restore a sandbox from a snapshot, potentially on a different worker.
POST
Restore Sandbox
Performs a cross-worker sandbox restore. Resolves the snapshot to restore from
(either an explicitly named
snapshot_id or the best available), picks an
eligible orchestrator node — always excluding the originating node — forwards
the restore to that orchestrator, and updates sandbox-manager state with the
new node assignment.
Unlike resume, restore works on sandboxes in
any state as long as at least one snapshot exists, and always lands the sandbox
on a fresh worker.
Path Parameters
string
required
The sandbox identifier. Format:
sbx-<8 chars>.Query Parameters
string
Optional specific snapshot to restore from. If omitted, the best available
snapshot is selected (preference:
pause → periodic → manual).Response
Returns the orchestrator’s restore response (passed through), including the newguest_ip and envd_port for the restored VM.
