Discover

Discover OpenShift Dev Spaces

Assess the architecture, platform components, and resource requirements of OpenShift Dev Spaces to determine if it meets your organization's cloud development needs.

Get Started

Prepare the platform for developers

Verify the platform works end-to-end, configure Git provider OAuth for your team, and identify what to configure next so that developers can start creating workspaces.

Start your first workspace

Create your first Cloud Development Environment from a Git repository, connect to private repositories, and manage your workspaces so you can start coding from your first session.

Plan

Plan deployment resources

Identify supported platforms, size your cluster for the expected number of developers, evaluate scalability limits, and set up the dsc command-line tool before installation.

Install

Install Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces

Deploy the platform using the CLI, web console, or GitOps, including air-gapped environments, verify the installation is running, and remove it when no longer needed.

Upgrade

Upgrade OpenShift Dev Spaces

Plan your upgrade path, choose between the web console or command line, apply the update in connected or air-gapped environments, and verify the upgrade completed successfully.

Configure

Customize the platform configuration

Define the platform state through the CheCluster custom resource, connect server components to enterprise Secrets and ConfigMaps, and customize the developer dashboard for your team.

Configure networking and storage

Set up hostnames, TLS certificates, proxies, and network policies for workspace traffic, and configure storage provisioners, persistence strategies, and backup for workspace data.

Configure workspaces

Organize workspace namespaces with naming conventions and pre-provisioning, and set policies that control workspace limits, scheduling, and security capabilities for all users.

Secure

Manage identities and authorization

Protect your deployment, control who can access the platform by granting or restricting permissions, and remove user data when required to meet data protection obligations.

Optimize

Speed up workspace starts and scale the platform

Deploy image caching to reduce workspace startup time, configure autoscaling for high availability, and verify performance after optimization.

Develop

Develop with OpenShift Dev Spaces

Standardize environments with devfiles, manage credentials, build containers, review pull requests, persist workspace data, and share preconfigured workspace links with your team.

Set up your development tools

Choose and configure your IDE, automate extension installation, and set up AI coding assistants with your preferred provider so your team uses consistent tooling.

Observe

Monitor platform health

Collect and verify server and operator metrics with Prometheus, view dashboards from the OpenShift web console, and configure telemetry to measure platform adoption.

This content is not included.

Configure logging to isolate issues

Configure log levels, capture HTTP traffic, and collect diagnostic logs with dsc so you can isolate and resolve platform issues.

Integrate

Connect Git providers with OAuth

Configure OAuth applications for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Microsoft Entra ID so that developers can push and pull code without managing individual credentials.

Manage workspaces with OpenShift tools

Use automatic OpenShift token injection, manage workspaces from the command line, and access Dev Spaces from the OpenShift console and Developer Perspective.

Resolve dependencies in restricted environments

Configure Maven, Gradle, npm, Python, Go, and NuGet to resolve dependencies from your internal artifact registries when workspaces cannot reach the internet.

Extend

Customize workspace tooling

Control which editors developers can use, customize IDE settings and extensions for all workspaces, and deploy a private extension registry for air-gapped environments.

Add AI and analytics capabilities

Register approved AI coding assistants for developers and build custom telemetry plugins to collect organization-specific usage data from workspaces.

Troubleshoot

Diagnose and resolve workspace issues

View workspace logs, debug failing or slow workspaces, and fix devfile and IDE errors so you can get back to development quickly.

Diagnose and resolve platform issues

View server and operator logs, diagnose workspace startup and network failures, and fix OAuth configuration errors to restore platform availability.
