Gitpod Revamps Dev Automation Tool

Gitpod announced today it refreshed the dashboard for its namesake open source tool for automating the deployment of development environments, in addition to making Microsoft VS Code its default tool for editing code. In addition, Gitpod has included support for sudo privileges and Docker images using an advanced user namespace to map and limit access to workloads using a built-in Supervisor capability.

That approach also makes it simpler for developers to collaborate around the same application development environment regardless of where they happen to be physically located.

The challenge now is enabling teams of developers to develop applications as efficiently as possible, no matter where they are in the world. In fact, now that development teams have become more distributed, organizations are becoming more comfortable hiring developers wherever they find them.
