We had an application that had quite the complex build process, and targeted only macOS and Linux. The mechanical engineers all used Windows, and needed to use the application. Rather than buying them macbooks or having them manage a Linux box, I wound up building something like Webtop with webvnc, and deployed containers to google cloud. Engineers could go to a URL and access the application, no need to download or install anything. It worked pretty well, all things considered.
