All these dev-machines-in-a-cloud sound wonderful from a security, compliance, and onboarding perspective. What is often forgotten is that this is now a service you’re operating and a massive SPOF. If it goes down (and it will), productivity drops to exactly zero. It’s like sending your devs home until it’s fixed.
