Fully managed development environments will be the norm in the future. As the world already moved to cloud, now is the time for devs to focus on just building the products without worrying about configurations and installations. With the flexible, containerized dev environments that enable coding from anywhere, No matter where in the world, devs can securely build and bring out new products.

That is a manager's wet dream. The reallity is a bit different. How can i connect a licence dongle to this "Cloud Workstation" ?

  That's something that 99% of software teams probably don't have to deal with... (I've never worked on one or heard of one that had to) I wouldn't be too worried about it if I were a company working on cloud IDEs for now.

  Probably more of an accountant's wet dream. With this, you can layoff a big chunk of the IT, endpoint security, and software licensing teams.

Agree this will be the norm but hopefully we develop vendor agnostic APIs for it

  +1 things like terraform are great for the initial setup, but there is a lack for tooling around recurring management -- although, docker does help the story for having ephemeral environments quite a bit it would be great to see developer environments be able to consume helm charts etc to create production-like environments but the overall sprawl around the variety of cloud-hosted or other SaaS products that are used in applications nowadays makes that quite hard - imo would be really nice to have a dev-tenancy variant for things like MongoDB, Datadog, etc

we're building cloud-hosted dev environments (choice of VM, container or full k8s) that engineers can connect to using their existing tooling (keep your IDEs, environment config, etc) but code in a production-like environment from a pure software development perspective, the goal is to not just code in the cloud, but to also get a plethora of benefits around having dependent cloud resources, sampled message queues/databases, etc alongside these ephemeral dev environments we're still in closed-beta but would love for folks to try it out and provide us some feedback: www.devzero.io
