Resources and limits

Sandbox resource requests are sent to the selected Gateway with the native OpenShell CreateSandbox request. The Docker driver and its configuration live on the Gateway host; the CLI does not modify local Docker containers.

CLI option OpenShell request field
--cpu CPU resource request
--memory Memory resource request
--gpu [COUNT] GPU request
--driver-config-json Driver-specific configuration

The Gateway operator configures driver-wide limits such as the sandbox PID limit in its gateway.toml. There is no per-sandbox --pids-limit option. There is no hard-coded CLI memory default; set --memory or use a shared workload template.

Example:

cautem sandbox create --name worker --from cursor --cpu 2 --memory 4Gi --gpu 1
