Eclipse Che for Infrastructure Automation

Stop treating infrastructure as a second-class citizen. Give your IaC the professional development tools it deserves.

#1about 2 minutes

Bridging the tooling gap in infrastructure as code

Infrastructure as code often lacks the sophisticated development tools used in software engineering, creating a need for standardized environments.

#2about 3 minutes

Comparing local and remote cloud development environments

Moving from a local machine setup to containerized remote environments provides consistency, faster onboarding, and improved security.

#3about 1 minute

Structuring development with inner and outer loops

Splitting work into a high-velocity inner loop for development and a quality-gated outer loop for compliance balances speed with stability.

Building a remote Ansible environment with Eclipse Che

A complete remote development environment can be built using Eclipse Che, devfiles for configuration, and integrated Ansible tools for testing and linting.

#5about 1 minute

Defining workspaces with devfile versus dev containers

Both devfiles and dev containers define development environments as code, but devfiles offer additional features like declarative task definitions for IDE integration.
