name: CDAP Sandbox
model: self-hosted local instance
description: >-
  CDAP does not offer a vendor-hosted test tenant with test-vs-live API keys. Its sandbox is a real,
  full CDAP instance you run yourself — a single-process package containing everything needed to
  experiment with data applications on a laptop or desktop, including the CDAP UI and the CDAP CLI.
  The Cloud Sandbox is functionally identical to the Local Sandbox and is distributed through cloud
  marketplaces.
test_vs_live:
  separation: deployment-level, not credential-level
  note: >-
    There are no test/live key prefixes or modes. A sandbox is simply a separate CDAP instance; the
    same /v3 Microservices API is served. The `default` namespace is the conventional scratch space.
endpoints:
  default: http://localhost:11015
  cli_prompt: 'cdap (http://localhost:11015/namespace:default)>'
  default_namespace: default
security:
  note: >-
    A sandbox typically runs with security.enabled=false, in which case no Authorization header is
    required. No published test credentials or fixture tokens exist.
