The offshore team had to access everything via virtual desktops, and one of the restrictions was no virtualisation within the virtual desktop - so tooling like Docker was banned.
I was really surprsied to see modern JVM development going on, without access to things like TestContainers, LocalStack, or Docker at all.
To compound matters, they had a single shared dev env, (for cost reasons), so the team were constantly breaking each others stuff.
How common is this? Also, curious what kinds of workarounds people are using?
