CreateOS Sandbox vs E2E Networks
E2E Networks is the pick for GPU training, inference or VMs that must be hosted in India, with MeitY empanelment for public-sector buyers. CreateOS Sandbox is the pick for running agent or untrusted code in micro-VMs in the eu or us regions, with pause, fork and outbound rules. CreateOS has no GPUs and no India region.
Pricing at a Glance
CreateOS rates verified 17 October 2026. E2E Networks pricing as published on 26 October 2026. Rates billed per GB rather than per GiB, or as bundled sizes, are quoted as published rather than converted.
CreateOS Sandbox
- Compute
- $0.0362 /vCPU-hr
- Memory
- $0.0116 /GiB-hr
E2E Networks
CPU VMs list from $0.049 per hour (C3.8GB, 4 vCPU, 8 GB) and GPUs from $0.45 (T4) to $7.99 (B200) per GPU-hour excluding taxes, priced in USD on the pricing page, as of 26 October 2026.
Where CreateOS Sandbox Fits Better
What CreateOS Sandbox brings to this matchup, with a plain note on where E2E Networks has the edge.
Documented isolation: each sandbox is a Firecracker micro-VM with its own guest kernel, while E2E does not publish its hypervisor.
Pause and fork are documented API operations; E2E publishes neither persistence nor fork details.
Per-second billing, against E2E's hourly or monthly CPU pricing.
Where E2E Networks is strong
Low on-demand GPU prices, with the H100 at $3.99 per GPU-hour, on infrastructure inside India and with MeitY empanelment for Indian public-sector and data-residency needs.
Which to Pick
Pick CreateOS Sandbox if
- Your agents run in Europe or the US
- You need sandboxes that pause with memory and fork
- You want egress allowlists enforced outside the VM
Pick E2E Networks if
- Your data or users must stay in India
- You need GPUs from T4 to B200 at on-demand per-GPU-hour prices
- You sell to Indian public-sector buyers who require MeitY empanelment
Head-to-Head Comparison
Every dimension side by side, checked on 26 October 2026 against each vendor's own docs and pricing pages. "Not published" means we could not find it on the vendor's pages, not that the feature is missing.
| Dimension | CreateOS Sandbox | E2E Networks |
|---|---|---|
| Isolation | Firecracker micro-VM with its own guest kernel | Full VM (hypervisor not published) |
| Create and destroy by API | Yes: REST API, CLI, SDKs for TypeScript, Go, Python, Rust, C# and Java (all but TypeScript pre-1.0), and an MCP server with create, exec and destroy tools | E2E API listed; SDK and CLI details not checked |
| Memory snapshot (pause and resume) | Yes: pause saves disk, memory and CPU state; vCPU stops billing while paused, memory and storage still bill | Not published in the pages checked |
| Fork | Yes: fork a paused sandbox into new, independent sandboxes | Not published |
| Outbound network controls | Open with no rules; deny-by-default once any host, IP, CIDR or wildcard rule exists, enforced on the host outside the VM | Not published |
| Billing granularity | Per second while running, no minimums: $0.03616363 per vCPU-hour, $0.01159025 per GiB-hour | Hourly on-demand or monthly plans; GPU billing stated as per-minute |
| Largest size | 8 vCPU / 16 GB on Enterprise (8 / 8 Pro, 4 / 4 Beginner, 1 / 1 Free) | C3 plans up to 48 vCPU / 256 GB; memory-optimized M3 plans listed separately |
| GPU | No GPU shapes | Yes: B200, H200, H100, RTX PRO 6000, A100 80GB, L40S and T4 |
Common Questions
What does an H100 cost on E2E Networks?
E2E lists the H100 at $3.99 per GPU-hour on demand, excluding taxes, with the H200 at $5.29 and the B200 at $7.99. CreateOS Sandbox offers no GPU shapes, so for GPU work E2E is the relevant option of the two.
Does E2E Networks host workloads in India?
Yes. E2E is an Indian cloud provider and states MeitY empanelment, which matters for Indian public-sector and data-residency requirements. CreateOS Sandbox runs in two managed regions, eu and us, so it does not meet an India-hosting requirement.
Can E2E Networks run sandboxed agent code?
It can run code on VMs, but E2E publishes no sandbox API, snapshot, fork or isolation details on the pages checked. CreateOS documents Firecracker micro-VM isolation, pause with memory, fork, and deny-by-default egress once rules exist.
