Creating a Checkpoint
Capture the current state of a running sandbox:
oc checkpoint create sb-abc123 --name before-migration
# or using the shortcut:
oc cp create sb-abc123 --name before-migration
processing and transitions to ready.
oc cp list sb-abc123
# ID NAME STATUS SIZE CREATED
# cp-7f3a1b2c before-migration ready 128 MB 2025-01-15T10:30:00Z
Forking from a Checkpoint
Create new sandboxes from a saved checkpoint. Each fork is independent:
# Spawn two independent sandboxes from the same checkpoint
ID1=$(oc cp spawn cp-7f3a1b2c --json | jq -r '.sandboxID')
ID2=$(oc cp spawn cp-7f3a1b2c --json | jq -r '.sandboxID')
# Run different experiments
oc exec $ID1 --wait -- ./experiment-a.sh
oc exec $ID2 --wait -- ./experiment-b.sh
Restoring
Revert a sandbox in-place to a checkpoint. All changes since the checkpoint are lost:
oc cp restore sb-abc123 cp-7f3a1b2c
Listing and Deleting
oc cp list sb-abc123
oc cp delete sb-abc123 cp-7f3a1b2c
Checkpoint vs Hibernate
| Checkpoint | Hibernate |
|---|
| Original sandbox | Keeps running | Stopped |
| Can fork | Yes — unlimited new sandboxes | No |
| Use case | Branching, parallel testing | Pause and resume, cost savings |
