Introducing Sandbox Presets and Shared Hot-Starts

Ade Mochtar
CTO & Co-Founder

We’re excited to announce two new features: Sandbox Presets and Shared Hot-Starts!


Sandbox Presets make creating and collaborating easier

With Sandbox Presets, you can now save sandbox definitions separately from tracks. Think of them as building blocks for your tracks that you define once and then reuse across many tracks. 

With this new capability, you can use all the available resources for your tracks (containers, virtual machines, cloud accounts). This means you will spend less time setting up your sandbox environments and have more time focusing on building great content. You can save and share presets with your team, making collaboration easier. 

Learn more about Sandbox Presets.

Shared Hot-Start enables you to pre-provision more sandboxes at a fraction of the cost


Hot Start enables you to create a pool of sandbox instances that are instantly available when a learner starts your track. Previously, you had to create Hot Start pools for every track that you wanted to make available instantly to your learners, which meant you were probably creating more and bigger pools than actually required.

Using Sandbox Presets, we've enhanced our existing Hot-Start feature to make it more cost-effective. With Shared Hot-Starts, you can now create pools based on a Sandbox Preset. Hot-Start instances in those pools are shared and can be used by all tracks based on the same preset. This means hot-start pools can be used much more efficiently, allowing you to have more hot-start-enabled tracks at a fraction of the cost.

Learn more about Shared Hot-Starts.

Both Sandbox Presets and Shared Hot-Starts are now available for all our customers.
