# OpenShell Telemetry — June 24 – July 8, 2026

[← All reports](README.md)

First public telemetry update, so there is no prior period to compare against. The **Last 2 weeks** column covers this two-week window; **All-time** is cumulative since telemetry landed on June 1, 2026 (~5 weeks). A large share of all-time activity falls within this two-week window. Numbers are aggregate counts only — see the [Telemetry section](../README.md#telemetry) of the main README for what's collected and how to opt out.

| Metric | Last 2 weeks | All-time |
|---|---:|---:|
| Sandboxes created | 269,220 | 383,224 |
| Sandboxes deleted | 247,727 | 343,216 |
| Sandbox creation failures | 5,345 | 12,822 |
| Actions denied | 2,323,468 | 3,861,935 |
| Network activity events | 29,935,431 | 43,079,862 |

Creation failure rate held around 2% over the last two weeks (~3% all-time).

**Sandbox drivers.** Docker dominates at 208,816, followed by Podman (34,637) and Kubernetes (23,480). VM (1,562), unknown (422), and MXC (303) make up the long tail. All-time we've also seen a handful of apple-container and macos sandboxes.

```

**Where sandboxes are created.** The United States leads by a wide margin, followed by Israel, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, South Korea, Germany, Japan, and China.

**Providers.** `custom` profiles lead (~30k), then `openai` (~21k), with nvidia, claude, anthropic, github, gitlab, opencode, codex, and copilot trailing.

bar [30300, 21100, 1200, 1000, 3000]
```

**Policy.** Roughly 73% of policy decisions were approved over the last two weeks. Of denied sandbox connections, ~99% fell under the "Connect Policy" deny group, with "Bypass" denials near zero.

# OpenShell Community Telemetry Reports

OpenShell collects anonymous, aggregate usage telemetry (see the [Telemetry section](../README.md#telemetry) of the main README for what's collected and how to opt out). We publish a summary of the trends here every two weeks so the community can see how the project is being used.
OpenShell collects anonymous, aggregate usage telemetry (see the [Telemetry section](../README.md#telemetry) of the main README for what's collected and how to opt out). We publish periodic summaries of the trends here so the community can see how the project is being used.

Telemetry collection landed in [#1433](https://github.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell/pull/1433) on **June 1, 2026**, so all "All-time" figures are cumulative from that date.
Numbers are aggregate counts only — no user data, code, prompts, or command contents are collected. Each report covers one two-week period and, where available, compares against the prior period. Reports are listed newest first.
