Chapter 7. Configuring your IDE
You can configure some notebook workbenches to get the most out of your data science work.

You can use extensions to streamline your workflow, add new languages, themes, debuggers, and connect to additional services.
For more information on code-server, see code-server in GitHub.
The code-server notebook image is currently available in Red Hat OpenShift AI 2.8 as a Technology Preview feature. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.
