Ask HN: What is your preferred dev environment for working with cloud resources?

[3cham]

Hi HN,

given that more and more companies moving into cloud infrastructure, I am interested in what is the good way for a developer working with cloud resources. Some approaches in my mind now:

- Create a VM-instance on the cloud provider, setup dependencies then develops everything with console.

- [For GUI lover]: Create a VM-instance on the cloud provider, setup dependencies, tunneling everything to a local IDE via SSH.

- [Hardcore way]: mimic the cloud services in a local VM/computer and develops everything locally.

Please share your opinion, thanks :)

I use SAM to test serverless functions on local.

Do you know any similar tool for cross provider development?
