CreateOS Sandbox vs Latitude.Sh

Latitude.sh is the better fit for dedicated CPU or multi-GPU hardware in many regions, automated with an API and Terraform. CreateOS Sandbox is the better fit for small, short-lived isolated environments per agent task, billed per second. Latitude's smallest VM is 4 vCPU / 16 GB, while a CreateOS sandbox can be 1 vCPU / 1 GB.

Latitude.sh

Latitude.sh lists vm.small (4 vCPU, 16 GB, 160 GB) from $0.09/hour or $69/month and g3.h100.small (1x H100) from $1.68/hour, taxes included, as of 17 October 2026.

Where CreateOS Sandbox Fits Better

What CreateOS Sandbox brings to this matchup, with a plain note on where Latitude.sh has the edge.

Smaller units: a 1 vCPU / 1 GB sandbox billed per second, where Latitude's smallest VM is 4 vCPU / 16 GB billed hourly.

Paused CreateOS sandboxes stop vCPU billing; Latitude says shutting down a VM does not pause billing.

Egress allowlists without installing anything in the VM; Latitude's firewall is an opt-in, agent-based UFW service.

Where Latitude.sh is strong

Whole single-tenant servers and multi-GPU machines created and deleted by API with hourly billing, 20 TB of free outbound traffic per server, SOC 2 Type 2 for Security (vendor-stated) and 26 locations worldwide.

Which to Pick

Pick CreateOS Sandbox if

Each agent task needs a small isolated machine for minutes, not a server for a month.
You want to pause and fork environments with memory kept.
You want egress rules enforced outside the VM, not by an agent installed inside it.

Pick Latitude.sh if

You need dedicated bare metal or 8x B300 GPU machines.
You need presence in Latin America, Asia-Pacific or many US metros.
You push heavy outbound traffic and want 20 TB per server included.

Head-to-Head Comparison

Every dimension side by side, checked on 17 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	Latitude.sh
Isolation	Firecracker micro-VM with its own guest kernel	Bare metal: single-tenant. VMs: full VM. AMD SEV on some metal plans
Create and destroy by API	Yes: REST API, CLI, MCP server and SDKs for TypeScript, Go, Python, Rust, C# and Java (all but TypeScript pre-1.0)	Yes: REST API, lsh CLI, TypeScript, Go and Python SDKs, Terraform
Memory snapshot (pause and resume)	Yes: disk, memory and CPU state saved; vCPU stops billing, memory and storage still bill	Not documented; VM backups copy the disk; stopped VMs keep billing
Fork	Yes: fork a paused sandbox into many independent sandboxes	VMs only: restore a backup into a new VM; no live fork
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	Opt-in UFW-based firewall agent with inbound and outbound rules by IP and port
Billing granularity	Per second while running: $0.03616363/vCPU-hr, $0.01159025/GiB-hr, storage $0.0001584/GB-hr	Hourly on demand; monthly and yearly reserved discounts
Largest size	8 vCPU / 16 GB on Enterprise; 8 vCPU / 8 GB on Pro	c4.metal.large 96 cores / 384 GB; VMs up to vm.xlarge 32 vCPU / 128 GB
GPU	None; no GPU shapes	Yes: 8x HGX B300, 8x RTX PRO 6000, 1x H100

Common Questions

How fast does a Latitude.sh server deploy?

Latitude says some operating systems deploy in under 10 seconds with instant deployment, while standard deployment takes about 10 minutes and Windows 15 to 20 minutes (vendor-stated). Its homepage and pricing FAQ quote around 5 seconds, so the figure differs by page.

Does Latitude.sh charge for outbound traffic?

Up to a point. Each server includes 20 TB of free outbound traffic pooled per region, inbound is free, and overage is $0.01 per GB. CreateOS has no per-GB egress fee, with a 50 GiB outbound budget per sandbox by default.

Is a stopped Latitude.sh VM billed?

Yes. Latitude's VM docs say shutting down a VM does not pause billing, and monthly on-demand servers are not pro-rated if deleted early. A paused CreateOS sandbox stops vCPU charges and keeps billing memory and storage per second.
