OpenShift Dev Spaces is built upon Eclipse Che and is optimized for Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Linux. It is built on RHEL 8. OpenShift Dev Spaces bundles a curated set of devfiles and plug-ins supported by Red Hat, whereas Eclipse Che has a broader set, including ones that are not supported in the product.
