In reality those environments are not "the same". You have all sorts of libraries that are compiled and set up specifically for your system, and those differences add up.
With Cloud 9 everything is on an EC2 instance with Linux, exactly the same platform as I will deploy in production.
- 3pt14159 8y agoBut why not just use VMWare with Linux locally?
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoIn context of this thread, because aws works with Chromebooks and VMware doesn't.
- crystaln 8y agoFunny enough, with Google releasing Debian on Chrome OS, this may actually become an option soon.
- cdubzzz 8y agoTrue. My environments are not the same. Most will call that a disadvantage. I rather like knowing about environments on various platforms and how my applications support them. Of course there are other, probably better, ways to approach that (: It sounds like C9 can be really useful for AWS deployment specifically, but beyond that I don’t see much value over git+IDE.
- crystaln 8y agoThe value is that it is online on an ec2 instance on the Aws network , which may or may not be something you want. Also git+IDE is exactly what I use with Cloud 9. C9 is the IDE.
