Devfile: Dev environment as code
summary
Defines a development environment as a YAML file named Devfile.yaml with metadata, components (container, image, k8s, volume), and commands; shows schema versions 2.1.0 and 2.2.0. Uses the audio CLI to fetch a Go starter devfile, create a Kubernetes Deployment and Service, sync local files to the container, rebuild on save and port-forward localhost:2001→8080; supports Podman too. Demonstrates a small Go HTTP server that updates live, cleans up on Ctrl-C, and mentions registries, registries of vendor adopters (Red Hat, Amazon CodeCatalyst, JetBrains) and a Go library to parse and generate devfiles.
