Environments
A cloud environment is a Docker container that runs on a virtual machine in the cloud. JetBrains Air Teams creates this environment for the task and runs the agent in it.
An environment configuration makes that container fit your project. Create configurations in JetBrains Air Teams under . A configuration sets:
the variables and secrets the agent needs
what the agent can reach on the internet, and which ports are open to your browser
When you start a task, you select either an environment configuration or a repository. Selecting a repository uses the default configuration.
Default environment
If you select only a repository when you create a cloud task – without choosing an environment configuration – JetBrains Air Teams runs the task in the default environment.
The default configuration uses the default image and does not add any custom variables, secrets, or internet access rules. This is the simplest option and is enough for tasks that do not require project-specific setup.
The default image includes almost all common tools and frameworks.
Personal and project environments
An environment configuration is either personal or owned within a project:
Personal – you create it for yourself, and only you can use it until you share it with other users, service accounts, or user groups.
Project – you create it from a project page. It's automatically shared with every project member, and deleting the project deletes the configuration. Learn about project environments.
