Configure Dev Environments

In CodeCanvas, dev environments are configured by namespace administrators.

Before developers can start working on a project in dev environments, a namespace administrator should create a dev environment template – a predefined configuration used as a basis for creating the environments. It defines a dev environment image, an IDE, resources, environment variables, and other settings. Ordinary users (developers) can create dev environments from the templates, but aren't allowed to create templates.

When creating a dev environment template, the administrator should think about boosting startup performance with warm-up and standby pool.

This section covers the dev environment configuration process:

• Create a template

• Speed up dev environment startup

• Template settings

• Configure container image

• Configure IDE settings and plugins

• Use personal parameters to provide sensitive data

• Use lifecycle scripts
