Sure - in the same way Dropbox is FTP + SVN

I think the idea is it comes pre-prepared for people who cannot spawn an environment from scratch on AWS or any other cloud provider for their purpose

To be fair AWS does offer that https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=3. But, Vagon is somehow cheaper than AWS, which I almost never see.

As a non dev-opsy person, I do not think i can create an environment to use. To be fair though, I cannot understand amazon pricing compared to vagon's enough to have an opinion eitherway

Note: I have not used this service before.

I'm pretty sure this is an almost exact competitor to Vagon. You're not creating an environment. It's a full desktop right out of the box.

No, no, no. It's a serverless personal computer.

This is not serverless. If you're specifying specific units of compute that is traditional cloud computing.

It was a joke, but virtual desktops are capable of dynamic resource allocation. For example, you might see you have 32BG of RAM, but you won't be allocated the last 16 until you need them.
