Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces

Cloud development environments

Focus on coding, not infrastructure. Get your application and development environment containerized and running on OpenShift without having to worry about the complexities of Kubernetes management. Access development environments easily using a web link.

VS Code and JetBrains IDEs in the browser

OpenShift Dev Spaces includes Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Open Source and JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. You can choose which IDE to run in your cloud development environments. You only need a machine capable of running a web browser to code, build, test, and run on OpenShift. Administrators and developers can customize their Dev Spaces instance and other web-based IDEs.

Developer workspaces defined as code

Customize your workspaces using a devfile. With devfiles, the development environments are defined as code, which makes them consistent and
eliminates "works on my machine" issues. A devfile lets you customize the following:

• Resource allocation
• Pre-defined commands to build, test, debug, and run
• Containers with development tools
• Containers or Kubernetes manifest for services required for testing
• Workspace start and stop events
• Source code repositories

Enterprise integration

The cloud development environments run inside the organization network, and the source code access is secured using the same access tools used across the rest of the organization. Workspaces can be automatically configured with enterprise proxy and trusted TLS certificate bundles. Access to the workspaces is secured using OpenShift OAuth and allows LDAP or Active Directory (AD). Administrators can easily manage and monitor workspaces as any other Kubernetes resource.
