Follow this guide to create an account and deploy a sample app in your own free sandbox.
1.
Get trial access and a free sandbox space
Federal employees and contractors with an email ending in .mil, .gov, or .fed.us can obtain a free sandbox space. To
register, you’ll need access to your email and a smartphone with an authenticator app installed (for example, 1password,
Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy).
2.
Go build in your sandbox
Follow any of the tutorials to launch your own web application from your sandbox. You’ll need your cloud.gov account and
some familiarity with Windows Powershell or Mac/Linux terminal. Learn more about sandbox spaces and sandbox limitations.
We also have video tutorials on
an overview of the cloud.gov
platform, a walk through of
the initial registration process,
and a hands-on workshop on how to
start running applications.
If you’ve run into any issues, please contact support at cloud.gov. We’re happy to help. You
can also send us suggestions on GitHub
or via email.
