Kubernetes-native cloud IDEs for teams: portable, collaborative, enterprise-grade.
Core Features
- Kubernetes-native: no extra infrastructure, workspaces run in pods
- Supports VS Code extensions, JetBrains, and custom editors
- Portable workspaces via Devfile standard
- Enterprise security: self-hosted, RBAC, audit logs
What It Can't Do
- •Requires a Kubernetes cluster; each workspace consumes ~2-4GB RAM, so resource planning is needed; teams should have basic K8s knowledge for self-hosted setups.
Use Cases
- Remote collaboration with unified dev environments for enterprise teams
- Ephemeral environments for PR reviews, experiments, or training
- CI/CD integration with consistent runtime across pipeline stages
Detailed Introduction
Eclipse Che is a Kubernetes-native platform that provides cloud development environments for enterprise teams. It places everything developers need — dependencies, containerized runtimes, a web IDE, and project code — into containers in Kubernetes pods. This makes workspaces distributed, collaborative, and portable to run anywhere Kubernetes runs. Che supports VS Code extensions, custom editors, and can be deployed on any Kubernetes cluster, offering self-hosted control over data and security. It integrates with CI/CD pipelines and supports multi-user collaboration with role-based access control.
Troubleshooting & FAQ (1)
TroubleshootingHow to fix CVE-2022-41721 and other vulnerabilities in Eclipse Che's kube-rbac-proxy image?
The kube-rbac-proxy image v0.13.1 used in Eclipse Che 7.63 has 5 HIGH/MEDIUM vulnerabilities. The fix is to upgrade to v0.14.1, which has zero known vulnerabilities. This has been addressed in the Eclipse Che operator via PR #2124. To apply the fix, update your Che operator to a version that includes this change, or manually modify the operator deployment to reference quay.io/brancz/kube-rbac-proxy:v0.14.1.
