I don't blame the devops guys though, I think this is a corporate thing as teams have to follow procedures and devops are not an exception (to waive some rules for us). I just hope it's a lot easier if we can just use a VM instead, but that would need to go through security certification. I wonder how other companies deal with this kind of issues, eventually my previous team decided to host the app on one of the laptops and tell clients to visit a "192.168.0.X:port".
