Eclipse Che for Infrastructure Automation
#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.
#4about 3 minutes
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.
#6about 4 minutes
Exploring the core features and patterns of Eclipse Che
Eclipse Che provides a Kubernetes-native cloud development environment with features like IDE integration, air-gap support, and patterns for dynamic test infrastructure.
#7about 3 minutes
Demo: Launching a pre-configured Ansible workspace
A devfile in a Git repository can automatically launch a complete VS Code-based IDE in the browser with all necessary extensions and language support pre-installed.
#8about 4 minutes
Demo: Test-driven development with Ansible Molecule
Use Ansible Molecule and declarative tasks to automatically spin up, test against, and tear down dynamic infrastructure directly from the IDE.
#9about 2 minutes
Demo: Generating playbooks with Ansible Lightspeed AI
Ansible Lightspeed provides an integrated AI assistant that generates and explains playbooks from natural language prompts, accelerating development and understanding.
#10about 1 minute
Key takeaways for modernizing infrastructure automation
Adopting declarative development environments is the key to closing the tooling gap and bringing modern software practices to infrastructure as code.
