Four Reference Architectures for CDEs: Kubernetes vs. VMs

The text discusses cloud development environments (CDEs) and their various architectures. It highlights that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, as different organizations may have different needs. Some companies prefer virtual machines over containers for their primary development environment. The text also explores the benefits of running CDEs in the cloud or on-premise datacenters and delves into Kubernetes deployments, VMs with nested containers, and traditional VMs. It emphasizes that Coder is an open-source platform for managing CDEs at scale and can be deployed as pods, virtual machines, containers on any cloud, or even on-premise.
