## Docs

- [Computer](https://www.yyzcompute.com/docs): A machine is a persistent Linux computer. You create one, it boots, and it keeps its disk until you delete it.

## Tutorial

- [Create your first machine](https://www.yyzcompute.com/docs/tutorial/create-your-first-machine): Install the SDK, boot a machine, and drive it — from nothing to a running, driven computer.

## How-to guides

- [Take input control](https://www.yyzcompute.com/docs/how-to/take-input-control): Acquire an input lease so a person can take the keyboard from an agent, and hand it back.
- [Connect the live desktop](https://www.yyzcompute.com/docs/how-to/connect-the-live-desktop): Ask the API for a connect ticket, then open the websocket gateway with it.

## Reference

- [API reference](https://www.yyzcompute.com/docs/reference/api): The generated OpenAPI document.

## Explanation

- [How machines behave](https://www.yyzcompute.com/docs/explanation/how-machines-behave): The reasoning behind sizes, readiness, coordinates, and exit codes.
