Daytona to Vakna: SDK calls and vakna commands

This page is generated from a mock CLI, and its numbers are placeholders.

Verified against vakna 0.0.0-mock on 2026-10-20

Each Daytona SDK call maps to one vakna command below. Their calls are from their public docs, checked on 20 October 2026, with the page for each. Vakna is a CLI; they are SDKs, so a row maps a call to a command, not a function to a function.

Which vakna command replaces each Daytona call?
