Colab Runtime and Kernel Management

Google Colab provides internal APIs for managing notebook runtimes and kernels, including connecting to hosted runtimes, local runtimes, and custom GCE VM backends. The runtime API handles kernel lifecycle (connect, interrupt, restart), resource allocation (GPU/TPU), and execution of notebook cells. These capabilities are exposed through the Colab UI and the colab Python package.
