Create a Workspace
The AWS Cloud9 Workspace is a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) that will be used for some exercises, other exercises will be run through the AWS CloudShell or the AWS Console. Thus check in the first steps of the chosen exercise if it will be necessary to create a Workspace.
The Cloud9 workspace should be built by an IAM user with Administrator privileges, not the root account user. Please ensure you are logged in as an IAM user, not the root account user.
Ad blockers, javascript disablers, and tracking blockers should be disabled for the cloud9 domain, or connecting to the workspace might be impacted. Cloud9 requires third-party-cookies. You can whitelist the specific domains.
