Large enterprises are shifting from traditional developer VDIs to thin VDIs combined with Gitpod to reduce costs and improve developer velocity. This approach provides secure, efficient development environments without the typical constraints of VDIs, such as high setup times and compatibility issues. The solution involves deploying lightweight VDIs for access control while using Gitpod to run development environments directly in AWS, offering substantial cost savings and enhanced performance.
