Quickstart

This guide will walk you through steps to quickly access and deploy your BlueRock Agent Sandbox.

1. Login to the EC2 instance using the username ec2-user and the SSH key provided for a PaaS environment or the key specified during your launch via the Amazon Marketplace. The BRACE binary is present in all instances at /opt/bluerock/bin/brace .

2. By default, the BlueRock Agent Sandbox is configured to run in observability mode without guardrails enforced. NOTE: Observe mode is free. Guardrails can only be enforced with the PaaS deployment or a paid license for BlueRock.

3. The sandbox is invoked via a command-line argument. To launch the sandbox, invoke the following command:

/opt/bluerock/bin/brace -l /path/dir/brace_rCURRENT.log -- <target_process>

This will invoke the sandbox and a target command or agent executable. The -l flag creates a local file BRace_rCURRENT.log in the specified path. Example of command-line agent invocation:

/opt/bluerock/bin/brace -l stdout -- .venv/bin/python3.12 agent.py

In the above example, the stdout will log messages to console.

Example of shell invocation of an agent:

/opt/bluerock/bin/brace -l /path/dir/brace_rCURRENT.log -- /usr/bin/bash -i

.venv/bin/python3.12 agent.py

Example of CrewAI running inside sandbox:

/opt/bluerock/bin/brace -l </path/log_file_name> -- /crewai/agent_test/.venv/bin/crewai run

1. To view a list of available command arguments, type: /opt/bluerock/bin/brace -h The following output will appear:
