Welcome to the Future of Development with Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces

Abstract

As organizations modernize legacy apps and race to integrate AI into their workloads, developers need environments capable of handling complex, resource-intensive services. At the same time, traditional local setups are plagued by "it works on my machine" errors, weeks-long onboarding delays, resource limits, and significant security vulnerabilities for enterprises navigating strict compliance requirements. Keeping source code secure while ensuring developers have the freedom to innovate is a constant trade-off.

In this session, we’ll explore how Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces provides the enterprise-grade Cloud Development Environment platform for building, testing, and deploying modern applications securely. Eliminate local setup toil, allowing new developers to contribute in minutes instead of days or weeks. Keep source code secure within the cluster, satisfying security teams without sacrificing developer freedom. Join

Generate Devfile Skill

Description

Generates a devfile.yaml for a project repository. Devfiles are YAML files that define development environments for cloud-native applications following the Devfile v2 specification.

When to Use

• When a project needs a new devfile.yaml
• When setting up a cloud-native development environment (e.g., OpenShift Dev Spaces, Eclipse Che)
• When a user asks to create or regenerate a devfile

Major Enhancements

CPU and Memory Limit widgets

With this release, the CPU and Memory Limit widgets on the Dashboard have been improved. You can now set CPU and memory limit values directly through input fields in the Advanced Options menu.

Create links in the entrypoint for files under /home/tooling/.config

Previously, with the UDI it was not possible to persist /home/tooling/.config files when spec.devEnvironments.persistUserHome is enabled in the CheCluster. With the latest UDI, /home/tooling/.config files will be persisted by creating a symlink from files under /home/tooling/.config to /home/user/.config in the entrypoint of the UDI.

Eclipse Che is an open-source (EPL 2.0) platform for providing Kubernetes-based Cloud Development Environments for Enterprise Teams. It provides development teams with on-demand, collaborative development environments that can be accessed through a web browser. Eclipse Che is designed to run on Kubernetes, a container orchestration platform. This provides scalability, resilience, and efficient resource management for development environments. Eclipse Che aims to streamline and modernize software development by giving cloud-based, collaborative, and reproducible development environments. It's particularly beneficial for teams working on cloud-native applications and those seeking to improve developer onboarding and environment consistency

Key Features and Concepts:

• A centralized developer environment running on Kubernetes or OpenShift.
• Remote Development: With an internet connection, developers can access their development environments from anywhere using Eclipe Che
• Utilizes the CNCF devfile standard h
