We want to try a remote dev environment. We will shrink staging a bit to facillitate this.
Plan is to start this properly on Monday 7th Oct and then evaluate on 17th Oct.

We (me and Andrew) successfully installed and ran minikube on a Google Cloud VM instance (wbaas-cloud-dev-01).
VM is a type n2-standard-8 with 8 cores and 32GB memory running on Ubuntu 24.02. We still have a few CPU and memory left to spare from our package.
We were able to set up a standard dev env and so far no significant hiccup. But you should use a different SSH key for this VM and shouldn't reuse your old SSH to avoid any unexpected behaviors.
I will use this remote dev env from now on to see if I counter any problem. But so far I think this is a good idea!

working on a remote dev env doesn't make much more sense anymore:
- Local seems to be stable, less complaints now
- a lot of cloud resources dedicate for dev env for 6 engineers (at lease 8cpus and 16-32GB ram for each)
- No significant advantage
