## Description

Hocus is a self-hosted platform for managing containerized development environments. It automates the lifecycle of isolated coding workspaces, allowing teams to provision and destroy ephemeral development instances on their own infrastructure.

The platform utilizes declarative configuration files to ensure consistent tooling and dependencies across distributed engineering teams. By leveraging infrastructure-as-code orchestration, it eliminates environment drift and simplifies the onboarding process for new contributors.

Users can extend base container images to create tailored environments that meet specific project requirements. The system also supports metadata-driven resource tagging, enabling organizations to track infrastructure usage and project labels through custom key-value pairs.
