Currently I do this by bringing my VM with me using VMware Workstation Player. Is it time to just start using cloud VMs? What are the pros and cons? I know that a big pro would be the ability to work from anywhere. My local machine is really just a host for my "desktop" and "development" VMs. but then realized that the first question that should consider is whether local compute makes sense as a developer. Got down into the weeds about Intel vs AMD, etc. Today, for the first time, I started thinking about it's replacement. My current desktop (on-premise, on my desk) machine is serving me well, but It's going on five years old. I just searched for and joined this sub to ask the same question.
