Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces is a Cloud Development Environment (CDE) platform built on the open-source Eclipse Che project. The solution provides developers with containerized, browser-accessible workspaces hosted directly within a Kubernetes/Red Hat OpenShift cluster.
Where you already have some Chef recipes to build your application boxes and are happy to run directly on VMs, OpsWorks really shines. It won't do anything too complex for you, so it only really works well for simple stacks (load balancers, application layers, database layers). If you want to do more complex infrastructure, Cloudformation or Terraform are probably worth looking at.

We have a team of 500 people so it's most reliable and scalable if any new joinees. That way user's can directly create their own workspace and start working and share the work stack throughout development teams securely, to update and modify any upcoming events. The best thing about Red Hat Workspace is it's simple, with all Runtime libraries pre-installed, so no need to request a platform from Azure or any other platform provider just log in and start creating a workspace. It has version control so can easily import GIT projects can start work without worrying we don't have Java, Python or any other platform not installed just select the platform needed and start working.

Getting up and running with OpsWorks is a very technical and potentially time-consuming process. You need to know the ins and outs of Chef/Puppet if you really want to get into it and there isn't a convenient way to test out the environment locally so debugging can be time-consuming.
To take advantage of some of the newer AWS instance types you need to be running on a VPC, which again is a pain if you don't have a DevOps team.
The error logs and monitoring metrics in OpsWorks are pretty basic and haven't changed much over the years.

Unless you pay for a pricey support package getting support on OpsWorks will be pretty slow. Documentation is also relatively limited and sometimes hard to follow when compared to competitors. Generally, we've been able to get the answers we need from OpsWorks support when we run into problems but don't expect rapid responses.

OpsWorks isn't really a direct competitor to Terraform/Cloudformation, but it does allow you to do some of the more simple things on offer quite quickly and effectively. Opsworks was used for this reason, along with existing internal knowledge of Chef. Along with some of the other services on offer from AWS, it is good to use as a stepping stone along the way when building your systems - or perhaps it would be entirely suitable for a fairly simple project.
