Introducing Microsoft Dev Box
[Update: Aug 15, 2022] We’re excited to announce that the preview of Microsoft Dev Box is now available to the public. Microsoft Dev Box is a managed service that enables developers to create on-demand, high-performance, secure, ready-to-code, project-specific workstations in the cloud. Sign-in to the Azure portal and search for “dev box” to begin creating dev boxes for your organization. To learn more about Microsoft Dev Box and get started with the service, visit the Microsoft Dev Box page or find out how to deploy your own Dev Box from a pool. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today, we are excited to announce Microsoft Dev Box, a new cloud service that provides developers with secure, ready-to-code developer workstations for hybrid teams of any size. You can sign up for the waiting list to evaluate the private preview at http://aka.ms/devbox-signup. Microsoft Dev Box empowers developers to focus on the code only they can write, making it easy for them to access the tools and resources they need without worrying about workstation configuration and maintenance. Dev teams preconfigure Dev Boxes for specific projects and tasks, enabling devs to get started quickly with an environment that’s ready to build and run their app in minutes. At the same time, Microsoft Dev Box ensures unified management, security, and compliance stay in the hands of IT by leveraging Windows 365 to integrate Dev Boxes with Intune and Microsoft Endpoint Manager.Harness any IaC framework with the new extensibility model in Azure Deployment Environments
We’re excited to announce a new extensibility model (now available in public preview) for Azure Deployment Environments that empowers customers to customize their deployment workflows using Bicep, Terraform, Pulumi, or any other infrastructure-as-code (IaC) framework their choice. This new model further streamlines app infrastructure provisioning and makes it easier for platform engineers to meet the unique needs of their organization.
