5.1.4. Start working with Developer Cloud Sandbox

The Developer Cloud Sandbox is a Virtual Machine (VM) that provides scientific developers with an Exploitation Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). It consists of a development environment for processor integration and testing, and a framework for Cloud provisioning. The Developer Cloud Sandbox PaaS allows you to plug scientific applications written in a variety of languages (e.g. Java, C++, IDL, Python, R), then deploy, automate, manage and scale them in a very modular way. The algorithm integration is performed from within a dedicated Virtual Machine, running initially as a simulation environment (sandbox mode) that can readily scale to production (cluster mode). Accessed from an harmonized Shell environment, support tools also facilitate the data access and workflow management tasks.

The Getting Started Guide will drive you step by step through the use of your Sandbox from access to a Laboratory to the Sandbox remote use.

5.1.4.1. Create a Developer Cloud Sandbox

Warning

Be sure to have perfomed the previous steps of this guide to provision properly your sandbox.

To create your own Developer Cloud Toolbox:

  • Access the Cloud Dashboard at https://cloud.terradue.com.`
  • Click on plus.png to create a new Developer Cloud Sandbox
  • Type the Developer Cloud Sandbox name
  • Select the Developer Cloud Sandbox template

5.1.4.2. Integrate your processor

For this part, you will use the Developer Cloud Sandbox’s documentation. We encourage you to follow the different guides, especially the Getting Started Guide and the Developer’s Quick start of this documentation to have a comprehensive understanding of the development environement

Note

Please discard the prerequisites listed in the Developer Cloud Sandbox’s documentation. If you achieved the previous steps of this guide sucessfully, you have all the elements to move forwrd with your sandbox and you processor integration.
