FAQ
What is a DevSpace?
A DevSpace is a elastic development environment on AWS. Because there is no need to build a machine if you can cheaply develop on the Cloud!
How I can use it?
Right now, this CLI only help managing DevSpaces and is using a hardcoded EC2 Launch Template. It’s not possible to bootstrap launch templates via the CLI yet.
If you really want to use this, contact the author for more details on how to manualy bootstrap your EC2 Launch Template.
My progress is lost when I stop my DevSpace?
No! When you stop a DevSpace, the CLI only destroys the instance, leaving the attached EBS Volume intact.
When you call start again, the EBS Volume will be attached on the new instance and you can just continue from the point you stop.
This means you are running a stateful workloads on spot instances.
