AWS

What is AWS Sandbox?

The sandbox is generally an isolated testing environment through which the user can open and run files without affecting other applications. In the AWS sandbox, you contain an account through which builders are generally free to experiment and explore amazon services and other services and tools under acceptable use policies.

There are three types of account access.

  • Sandbox gives access to each builder.
  • Sandbox gives access to each small team of builders.
  • In a more advanced scenario, you provide the option to builders and teams with multiple sandbox accounts.

Side Note: If many organizations want to allocate sandbox accounts to each builder, they must encounter the maximum quota account.

The Key Feature Included by the Sandbox Environment

Below are all the features that are included in the Sandbox Environment on AWS:

Isolated Account

Sandbox provides an isolated working environment, and you are free to build your ideas in an isolated working environment. No other user can access your working environment.

The key Characteristic of a Sandbox Account

Now that we are familiar with the features of the Sandbox account, let’s talk about some of the key characteristics of the sandbox:

Short-term Resources and Environments

The organization set an expectation from their builders that the resources created in the sandbox environment are temporary by nature. To control the cost and temporary nature of the sandbox environment, the organization must put automation measures to clean all the resources created in the environment.

Broad Range Access

A broad range of access is provided to all sandbox-oriented accounts. It provides access to all kinds of Amazon Web Services such as (inbound and outbound access to the internet). AWS facilitates all sandbox account users.

Not Providing Access to Non-public Data and Corporate Resources

Businesses typically commit usage agreements to prevent builders from accessing corporate data resources and data from their sandbox accounts. This will help to add to the security of your data.
