Set up the AWS Cloud9 environment

1. Navigate to the AWS access portal and sign into your account.

2. Click on your virtual SDK developer account and select the AWSAdministratorAccess link.

   

   AWS signs you into your Console Home.

3. Use the region dropdown menu to select the N. Virginia region. If you require another region to be set up, contact Itron at DI-SDK-Access@Itron.com.

   

4. In the search bar, type Cloud9.

5. In the results, under Services, click Cloud9.

   The AWS Cloud9 Developer Tools page opens.

6. Under New AWS Cloud9 environment, click Create environment.

   

   The Create environment page opens.

7. In the Name field, type a name for the environment, for example, Itron-SDK-Cloud9.

8. In the Description field, you can choose to type a description or leave the field empty.

9. Under Environment type, select New EC2 instance.

10. Under New EC2 instance, select Additional instance types.

    Tip: If the Additional instance types selection is unavailable, it is likely because the region you selected in step 4 is not enabled. Try selecting a different region to make Additional instance types available.

11. From the Additional instance types dropdown menu, select t2.medium.

12. From the Platform dropdown menu, select Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS.

13. From the Timeout dropdown menu, select how long you want Cloud9 to remain inactive before it starts auto-hibernating. Itron recommends setting auto-hibernate to start after 15 or 30 minutes.

    

14. Click Create.

15. Wait while AWS creates your new environment.

    When the environment is created, a success banner displays at the top of your window.

    

16. Click Open to verify in your new environment loaded successfully.

17. Go to the procedure Resize the Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume of your Cloud9 environment.
