Ephemeral Environments 101 - Understanding and Implementing Short-Lived Development Environments

Explore the concept of ephemeral environments in this 19-minute conference talk from Conf42 Cloud Native 2024. Dive into the typical environment workflow, understand the definition of ephemeral environments, and compare the software development lifecycle using static, long-lived environments versus ephemeral ones. Learn about the benefits of ephemeral environments in development workflows, collaboration, testing, on-demand resource allocation, security, and cost control. Discover resources for further information and gain insights into how ephemeral environments can streamline and improve cloud-native development processes.
