I was doing some client work recently at a bank, where most of their engineering is offshored one of the big offshore companies.
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?
