Cloud Only

In this configuration, all development is done with containers on top of virtual machines in a public or private cloud. Development teams sometimes need to choose this option because their local PCs aren’t capable of running virtualization software, or a corporate policy doesn’t permit them to run virtualization on their PCs. To work around these restrictions, each developer gets a bare-bones virtual machine hosted in the cloud to run their containers.
