Launching and Shutting Down new Devboxes

When a Devbox is launched, Runloop will allocate the necessary infrastructure. You should see the Devbox transition to the running state at which point you will be able to interact with the Devbox: 
curl -X POST 'https://api.runloop.ai/v1/devboxes' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RUNLOOP_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{}'
You can also create a devbox from a snapshot or blueprint to optimize boot times. Check out the Snapshots Guide for more information.
When you are done with a devbox, you can shut it down to free up resources. 
curl -X POST 'https://api.runloop.ai/v1/devboxes/{devbox_id}/shutdown' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RUNLOOP_API_KEY"
Once a devbox is shutdown, it’s disk state is deleted so if you want to keep your devbox’s disk state, you should suspend it instead or use a snapshot.
