Cloud AWS
#1

Hi Team,

Lets say if i create a application in sandbox EC2 of Kodeloud, can i take it out and store in my local PC?

Also if i buy a domain name and have Kodekloud AWS sandbox, can i host any sample website using Ec2 instance of sandbox along with some sample app code?

Hi @kalyan-p

What would you like to take out and store on your local PC from the KodeKloud Sandbox, the AMI or your application code used during testing?

As for your question about hosting a sample website with a domain name using the KodeKloud AWS Sandbox, technically, yes, you can:

  • The sandbox provides temporary EC2 instances with public IPs.
  • You can deploy a website (HTML, Node.js, Flask, etc.) on those instances just like in a regular AWS EC2 setup.

However, please note:

  • The sandbox EC2 instances are ephemeral, once the environment resets, your instance (and its public IP) will be deleted.
  • Any DNS A record pointing to that IP will stop working after the reset.
  • It’s not suitable for long-term hosting, the sandbox is intended for temporary practice and testing only.
