Introducing AWS Cloud9

AWS Cloud9 is a cloud based IDE for writing, running, and debugging your code.

AWS Cloud9 is a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) that lets you write, run, and debug your code with just a browser. It includes a code editor, debugger, and terminal. Cloud9 comes pre-packaged with essential tools for popular programming languages including JavaScript, Python, PHP, and more, so you don’t need to install files or configure your development machine to start new projects. Since your Cloud9 IDE is cloud-based, you can work on your projects from your office, home, or anywhere using an internet-connected machine. Cloud9 also provides a seamless experience for developing serverless applications allowing you to easily define resources, debug, and switch between local and remote execution of serverless applications. With Cloud9, you can quickly share your development environment with your team, allowing you to pair program and track each others’ inputs in real-time.

AWS Cloud9 integrates with AWS CodeStar, allowing you to quickly setup an end-to-end continuous delivery toolchain for your application and start releasing code faster on AWS. Codestar provides a unified experience that enables you to easily build, test, and deploy applications to AWS.

There is no additional charge for AWS Cloud9. If you use an Amazon EC2 instance for your AWS Cloud9 development environment, you pay only for the compute and storage resources (e.g., an EC2 instance, an EBS volume) that are used to run and store your code. You can also connect your AWS Cloud9 development environment to an existing Linux server (e.g., an on-premises server) via SSH for no additional charge.

AWS Cloud9 is available in the US West (Oregon), US East (Ohio), US East (N.Virginia), EU (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Singapore) regions.
