Various examples calling Containers directly from Durable Objects

Last updated Oct 2, 2026 Explore more ways to control a Container from its Durable Object:

• Execute commands: Run a process and read its output.
• Use snapshots: Save a filesystem and restore it when starting a Container.
• Roll out a named image update: Compare the running image with the configured image, then restart when needed.

Use the durable_object scheduling policy and the Durable Object Container API for these workflows.
