IDE solution that helps developers with a terminal, debugging and version control
About Codespaces
Use the full power of Visual Studio Code, including the editor, terminal, debugger, version control, settings sync, and the entire ecosystem of extensions. Work in the browser or hand off to your desktop. Spin up new dev environment for any sized project in seconds with prebuilt images. GitHub’s own 35GB dev image starts in under 10 seconds. Scale your cloud VMs up to 32 cores and 64GB of RAM. And with low-latency connections across four regions, you won’t even remember it’s not your local machine. Preview your changes in the browser with instant reloads (websocket and HMR support) and share private and public ports with your teammates. Every nerdy detail only you care about, configured just right, backed by your own dotfiles repository.

Google Colab
Google Colab is a free, hosted Jupyter Notebook service that provides cloud-based environments for machine learning, data science, and educational purposes. It offers no-setup, easy access to computational resources such as GPUs and TPUs, making it ideal for users working with data-intensive projects. Colab allows users to run Python code in an interactive, notebook-style environment, share and collaborate on projects, and access extensive pre-built resources for efficient experimentation and learning.
Colab also now offers a Data Science Agent automating analysis, from understanding the data to delivering insights in a working Colab notebook (Sequences shortened. Results for illustrative purposes. Data Science Agent may make mistakes.)

Strong Network
Strong Network allows the management of containers for DevOps online (as opposed to locally on developers laptop) and access them through a cloud IDE or a SSH connection (in the case of a local IDE). These containers provide a complete management of access keys and credentials to multiple types of resources, in addition to providing data loss prevention (DLP). In addition we combine the IDE with a secure chrome browser (remote browser isolation) such that any third party applications for DevOps can be accessed with DLP. This platform is a complete replacement for VDI/DaaS for code development. Our platform allows the provisioning and management of containers for development online (as opposed to locally on developers' laptops, using a solution like docker desktop for example) and enables accessing them through a cloud IDE or a SSH connection (in the case of a local IDE).
