# Cloud Sandpit: Overview

**The Cloud Sandpit allows you to launch a cloud-based development environment, hosted by your choice of cloud provider.**

## Summary

With a Cloud Sandpit, you can deploy and configure a cloud development environment outside of your production environment. The result – you can **safely test and deploy code**.

The Cloud Sandpit is built on AWS and delivered in two modes:

- **Open**
  Cloud is accessible through the AWS console associated to your account.
- **Closed**
  Cloud is isolated from the public internet. Access is through a SaaS Sandpit gateway, air-gapped and deployed as a managed service.
