Build safer CDEs on AWS with template-defined agent workspaces
At a glance
Workshop write-up: define persona templates (cloud-native, serverless, agentic, GenAI) as Terraform, GitOps them, and run parallel agents each in isolated AWS workspaces instead of conflicting on one laptop. This workflow is listed under sponsor, devtools, cde, aws, agentic.
Official quickstart: install a container runtime, start coder server, create a Docker template in the template builder, launch a workspace, and connect VS Code Desktop or browser VS Code.
Docs overview of Coder Agents, Agent Relay, IDE agents, and agents-in-templates—plus Terraform snippet to install Claude Code/Codex modules into a workspace template.
Coder blog explains why local Claude Code is risky for enterprises, then shows AWS/EKS reference setup, golden templates with Claude Code registry module, managed settings, and audited sessions.
Step-by-step practice: pick a Vue + CloudBase template, wire the CloudBase environment inside CodeBuddy IDE, then use natural-language prompts to add template CRUD, file upload, and cloud-function calls.
