Product updates: VM Sandboxes, Lower latency routing, RBAC, and more

AI summary

Modal shipped a batch of platform updates, including alpha VM Sandboxes that run a real Linux kernel to support Docker containers, eBPF, systemd and cgroups. Functions can now route through US West, EU West or Asia Pacific South instead of the default US East region, and RBAC is available to all Team and Enterprise plans. Sandbox readiness probes are now GA, and the Python SDK 1.5.0 and JS/Go SDK 0.8.0 set a 30-day default snapshot TTL.
