I need to provision a cloud 9 environment and run some provision scripts in it. Tried to do it with cloudFormation but found no way to ssh into it (without accessing the cloud9 terminal) nor to pass a script while bring cloud9 up.
My goal: setup several cloud nine instances for a workshop, which needs to run some scripts to work with it.
Any hints?
Auto-configuration is still a weak point for Cloud9 instances. What I've seen others do is create a script that is distributed to users and then ask them to run it in the terminal to setup the environment - not ideal but it works. I too would like to see a solution using CloudFormation or some other mechanism. Does this help?
