Igelle DevBox provides easy-to-use, readily usable developer-focused virtual machines on the cloud, with full command-line access and lots of modern developer tools and compilers pre-installed. Ideal for remote development, compiling on the cloud, to use as DevOps machines, integration testing tools or jump hosts for access to other systems on the Internet, a DevBox is simple to install and quick to use. With a static public IP address, you can also use it as the source host in firewall openings, further enhancing the security posture of your other integrated systems.
A DevBox can be used for many kinds of tasks. The following use cases are common:
Igelle DevBox is meant to help developers and development teams when local development is not fully possible due to eg. compatibility or security challenges but VPN or virtual desktop solutions are too slow or inconvenient. DevBox augments a local developer workstation and helps connect it to the cloud and other internal systems.
Multiple DevBoxes can be created and decommissioned as needed. The different DevBox instances are isolated to their own, separate networks, but can communicate via their public addresses either to one another or to other systems on the Internet.
A complete DevBox instance has many common developer tools preinstalled, including BASH, Git, Docker, C/C++, PHP, Java, .NET with C# and VB.NET, Kotlin, Ruby, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Swift, Helm, Node.JS, Azure CLI, AWS CLI, Terraform and Google Cloud CLI. When deployed, DevBox is ready to use for coding, compiling, cloud deployments, etc.
