What's new in JetBrains Space On-Premises?

AWS one-click installation

The AWS one-click installation allows users to quickly and easily run Space on the AWS cloud, providing a stable solution that utilises AWS resources and ensures secure data storage through AWS RDS and S3. This option is ideal for organizations already leveraging AWS or those without a dedicated infrastructure.

It can be installed in any Kubernetes-supported cluster, whether in a self-hosted environment or on cloud services like Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, Google Kubernetes Engine, or Azure Kubernetes Service. This option is suitable for managing larger workloads but requires Kubernetes knowledge for administration and troubleshooting.
