How can I copy/clone an entire AWS Cloud9 environment?

Question

This seems like such an easy question, and something that should just be a button click on the "Your environments" dashboard. But I can't find anything explaining how to do this. So my question is just... how can I copy/clone/duplicate an exact copy of a Cloud9 environment?

Accepted Answer

You have 2 ways of doing it:
1. You can clone your existing instance. Going to EC2, you can create an AMI from the cloud9 instance and launch a new instance from it. Then, from cloud9 you create a new environment to connect to the existing instance just launched.
2. You can bootstrap your instance. Knowing what you have installed, you can have a script which will configure the instance based on the tools you need. Here an example: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cloud9-bootstrapping-example
