Working with the AWS Cloud9 Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

An integrated development environment (IDE) provides a set of coding productivity tools such as a source code editor, a debugger, and build tools.

Important

We recommend the following best practices for using your AWS Cloud9:

• Use source control and backup your environment frequently. AWS Cloud9 does not perform automatic backups.

• Perform regular updates of software on your environment. AWS Cloud9 does not perform automatic software updates.

• Turn on AWS CloudTrail in your AWS account to track activity in your environment. For more information, see Logging AWS Cloud9 API calls with AWS CloudTrail

• Only share your environments with trusted users. Sharing your environment may put your AWS access credentials at risk. For more information, see Working with shared environment in AWS Cloud9
