# Deploy sandboxes on Northflank cloud

Deploy sandboxes with microVM isolation on Northflank's managed cloud. Boot times under 1 second with VM-level isolation for running untrusted code.

## Create a project

Sandboxes run in projects deployed to Northflank's managed cloud. MicroVM isolation is enabled by default.

## Deploy sandbox workloads

Deploy workloads in your project with microVM isolation enabled by default. Each workload runs in its own microVM with a dedicated kernel, providing strong isolation.

Attach volumes to preserve data across restarts and pauses. Scale to zero to pause compute billing while keeping storage intact.
