Vercel Sandbox to Vakna: SDK calls and vakna commands

Each Vercel Sandbox 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 Vercel Sandbox call?

Vercel Sandbox (`@vercel/sandbox`)	vakna
`Sandbox.create({ name, image, ... })` (docs)	`vakna create <box>`
`sandbox.runCommand('node', ['--version'])` (docs)	`vakna shell <box> -- node --version`
`Sandbox.list({ namePrefix })` (docs)	`vakna list`
`sandbox.delete()` (docs)	`vakna delete <box>`
`sandbox.stop()`, then `Sandbox.get({ name, resume: true })` (docs)	`vakna suspend <box>`, `vakna resume <box>`
`sandbox.snapshot()`, then `Sandbox.create({ source: { type: 'snapshot', ... } })` (docs)	`vakna snapshot <box>`, `vakna fork <box> --count <n> -- <command>`
`networkPolicy: 'deny-all'`, `sandbox.update({ networkPolicy })` (docs)	lockdown by default, `vakna net allow <host>`
`sandbox.writeFiles([...])` (docs)	`tar c . \| vakna shell <box> -- tar x`
`Sandbox.get({ name })` (docs)	address the box by name in any command

What has no equivalent in Vakna?

A session timeout and sandbox.extendTimeout() (docs).
A public domain per exposed port, up to 15 ports: sandbox.domain(3000) (docs).
Creating a sandbox straight from a git repo or a tarball (docs). vakna try does this for public repos only.

Suspend keeps a box's processes and memory; Vercel's stop keeps the filesystem.
One command forks a box many times, with one receipt for the lot.
