Natale Vinto discusses CodeReady Workspaces, a developer environment tool that runs on OpenShift. It provides containerized developer workspaces that enable coding directly within Kubernetes clusters. Key features include the Eclipse Che IDE, compatibility with VSCode extensions, and use of "devfiles" to define and standardize reproducible developer environments. CodeReady Workspaces aims to improve productivity for remote and distributed teams by reducing setup times and enabling self-service access to development environments.

Customer challenge: Enabling teams on Kubernetes “>80% of my development teams aren’t Kubernetes and container experts” Google Search Trend: Kubernetes and Linux Containers 5 year old technology.. very new! Challenge ● Development happens on laptops: not in Kubernetes, sometimes in containers ● IT is moving to Kubernetes in production ● Devs have programming knowledge, but little experience with containers and Kubernetes ● Training every developer to become a container and Kube expert isn’t viable: too hard, too long Need a way to make devs productive on Kube now, but enable their learning journey going forward

Customer challenge: Making remote developers and consultants more efficient Challenges ● Consultants often take 5-10 days to get setup on internal systems ○ Get approved laptop ○ Get access to relevant tools ○ Get access to shared dev clusters ○ ... ● Remote development offices are inefficient due to high turnover and ongoing setup and ramp-up ○ VDI solutions are slow and painful for developers: makes them less agile and effective ● Goals should be: ○ Near-instant provisioning of a new consultant or developer ○ Ability to reproduce product environment in development (to speed releases and reduce “it works on my machine” issues) “My remote development offices and development consultants aren’t as efficient as I need them to be” Average Time To First Project Contribution
