Description

At Ignite 2023, Microsoft Dev Box is introducing new capabilities to support greater customization and simplify Dev Box setup for development teams. These new features, now in public preview, focus on increasing developer productivity and satisfaction.

  • Dev box limits: Limit the number of dev boxes each developer can create within a project to help manage costs and ensure efficient use of resources.
  • Microsoft-hosted networks: Simplify network setup and eliminate the need to create, configure, and secure a virtual network with Microsoft-hosted networks.
  • Quick create template: Get a complete, step-by-step guide from initial admin configuration through Dev Box deployment.
  • Dev Box-compatible Docker Desktop images: Leverage preconfigured images that have everything needed to build containers with Visual Studio and Docker Desktop.
