Create an Ocean9 AccountThe rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

AWS let you provision logically isolated sections of the respective public cloud where with the help of Ocean9 you can launch your resources. You have complete control over the virtual networking environment, IP address ranges, creation of sub-nets, and the configuration of route tables and network gateways.
Furthermore, you can create a public-facing subnet for your web servers that has access to the Internet, and place your backend systems such as databases or application servers in a private-facing subnet with no Internet access. You can also leverage multiple layers of security, including security groups and network access control lists, to help control access to cloud resources in each subnet.
Additionally, you can create a Hardware Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection between your corporate data center and your VPC and leverage the public AWS cloud as an extension of your corporate data center.
