DevPod loft
winget install --id=LoftLabs.DevPod -e DevPod is a client-only tool to create reproducible developer environments based on a devcontainer.json on any backend. Each developer environment runs in a container and is specified through a devcontainer.json. Through DevPod providers, these environments can be created on any backend, such as the local computer, a Kubernetes cluster, any reachable remote machine, or in a VM in the cloud. You can think of DevPod as the glue that connects your local IDE to a machine where you want to develop. So depending on the requirements of your project, you can either create a workspace locally on the computer, on a beefy cloud machine with many GPUs, or a spare remote computer. Within DevPod, every workspace is managed the same way, which also makes it easy to switch between workspaces that might be hosted somewhere else.
DevPod is a client-only tool designed to create reproducible developer environments based on a devcontainer.json specification, enabling seamless development across any backend infrastructure. Whether working locally, on a Kubernetes cluster, a remote machine, or a cloud VM, DevPod allows developers to manage workspaces consistently and efficiently.
Key Features:
- Infrastructure-Agnostic: Works with any environment, from local machines to cloud providers, ensuring flexibility and adaptability.
