    :Personal development environment

    Last Updated:Dec 03, 2024

    Personal development environments can be integrated with a Git repository and File Storage NAS (NAS) and support Python programming and notebook-based analysis. This topic describes how to use a personal development environment.

    Features and scenarios

    Data Studio allows you to create a personal development environment instance at the account level. After network connections are established, you can access a Git repository and NAS with ease to clone code in the Git repository, and develop and debug Python code and notebook code online. You can also commit code to a project directory for scheduling.

    Personal development environment instances provide the following features:

    • Support SQL, AI notebook, and Python ecosystems, allow you to run Python and Shell scripts on your on-premises machine, and provide a code debugging feature.

    • Support the integration with a Git repository for code management. This way, you can clone, push, and manage code with ease.

    • Support the integration with NAS for data management and access.

    • Allow you to use custom images and support the connection with various external services to improve flexibility and extensibility.

    Data Studio provides an efficient, flexible, and powerful development environment that allows you to perform operations, such as data processing, analysis, and model training, in a more convenient manner to improve the development efficiency and code quality.

    Prerequisites

    • A workspace is created, and Participate in Public Preview of DataStudio of New Version is turned on. For more information about how to create a workspace, see Create a workspace.

    • A resource group is created and is associated with the created workspace. For more information, see Create and use a serverless resource group.

    Billing

    When you create a personal development environment instance, you must specify a resource group and a compute unit (CU) quota. You are charged for the resource group based on the number of CUs and the running duration of the resource group. For more information, see Billing of serverless resource groups.

    Important

    You are charged computing fees when your personal development environment instance is in the running state. If you no longer need to use a personal development environment instance, stop the instance on the instance management page at the earliest opportunity.

    Precautions

    • You can select and use only a personal development environment instance that is created by using the current Alibaba Cloud account.

    • A maximum of 10 personal development environment instances can be created by each member in a workspace.

    • Descriptions for file deletion from the storage space of a personal development environment instance:

      • After you delete files from the NAS file system that is mounted to a personal development environment instance, the files cannot be found in the recycle bin of Data Studio. The default mount target of the NAS file system is /mnt/data. If you enable the recycle bin feature in the NAS console, the deleted files can be found in the recycle bin of the NAS file system.

      • After you delete files from the built-in storage space of a personal development environment instance, the files cannot be found in the recycle bin of Data Studio. The default storage directory of the personal development environment instance is /mnt/workspace.

    Go to the page for creating a personal development environment instance

    1. Go to the Workspaces page in the DataWorks console. In the top navigation bar, select a desired region. Find the desired workspace and choose Shortcuts > Data Studio (New Version) in the Actions column.
