One of the first things new Acquia customers ask our Support team is how to disable Varnish in non-production Cloud Platform environments, so that they can view their changes immediately. Taking this feedback into account, we’ve decided not to include Varnish in Cloud IDE so it’s easier to develop Drupal without any external caching in the way.
