Part of Sizes, regions and hardware, which explains why it matters.

Fully: Blaxel, Boat, boxd, Daytona, E2B, Lizard, Modal, Sandboxer, Tensorlake and Vercel Sandbox. With a catch: Agent 37, Cloudflare Sandbox and Sprites. Not at all: InstaBox and Runtime.

  • BlaxelYesLondon and Frankfurt

    docs-confirmed “Frankfurt” Source

  • BoatYesGermany, Finland, France

    docs-confirmed “Sandboxes run on machines in Germany, Finland and France.” Source

  • boxdYesGermany

    The privacy notice describes a US cluster as well, so check which one your account uses.

    docs-confirmed “so your machines and their data stay in the EU” Source

  • DaytonaYeseu region

    docs-confirmed “Europe” Source

  • E2BYeseurope-west1

    The EU region is only switched on for workspaces with a payment method, and you have to ask support.

    docs-confirmed “E2B offers a shared EU cluster on every plan, for workspaces verified by adding a payment method.” Source

  • LizardYesEU West (Limburg)

    docs-confirmed “EU West (Limburg)” Source

  • SandboxerYesHelsinki

    docs-confirmed “EU Central (Finland)” Source

  • TensorlakeYesEU endpoint

    EU residency is chosen by using a separate EU web address for the whole account.

    docs-confirmed “Use Tensorlake's EU endpoints for data residency and compute in Europe.” Source

  • Vercel SandboxYesEuropean regions

    Snapshot storage stays in the region the sandbox was made in and cannot be moved.

    docs-confirmed “Snapshots can't be moved between regions.” Source

  • Agent 37With a catchFrance, backups in US

    The catch: There is a French region, but backups and the account's control records are kept in the United States.

    docs-confirmed “Backups and the instance's own control-plane record (its id, shape, and status) are stored in the US” Source

  • Cloudflare SandboxWith a catchEU locations, cannot pin

    The catch: Cloudflare has European locations, but a sandbox cannot be required to stay in one, so it may run outside the EU.

    docs-confirmed “Wrangler rejects every other Container application field for this policy, including image, instance_type, max_instances, rollout settings, and placement constraints.” Source

  • SpritesWith a catchEU possible, not chosen

    The catch: A Sprite may run in Europe because placement follows you, but you cannot require it to.

    Third-party community answer.

    third-party “sprites are created in a Fly.io region close to you” Source

  • InstaBoxNoUS only

    Note: There is no European region and no way to ask for one.

    inferred “4 vCPUs and 8 GiB of memory by default, the only size on the free plan.” Source

  • RuntimeNoUS only

    Note: Everything runs in Virginia in the United States.

    docs-confirmed “Everything runs in one region, in Virginia, United States” Source

  • MorphNot published

    No page says where machines run.

    not-published “Full virtual machines capable of running any configuration of containers” Source

Where it decides the choice

The feature

Words used here

  • vCPUOne share of a processor. More vCPUs let a machine do more things at once; an agent waiting for messages uses a small fraction of one.
  • Memory (RAM)The machine's working space while it runs. Lost when the machine stops unless the provider saves it. A browser or a large program needs more of it.
  • RegionThe part of the world where the machine runs. It matters for speed if your users are far away, and for law if data must stay in a country or the EU.
