Dev Box has already transformed the developer workstations at Microsoft from rigid, long-running desktops to project-specific, ready-to-code workstations in the cloud. We’re excited to see more developers leave behind the challenges of physical workstations to focus on writing the code only they can write.
As a lab owner, you now have the option to configure all your lab virtual machines (VMs) to be created in a single resource group. This helps prevent you from reaching resource group limits on your Microsoft Azure subscription.
Azure makes it easy to set up a dev-test environment for your applications and all of their components: web app, database, database server, storage, and any third-party services.
There’s a much faster way to create the infrastructure you need to deploy and test a tiered, web-based line-of-business application (LOB app). Azure makes it easy to simulate a LOB app production environment from your location on the Internet.
As part of your hybrid cloud environment for testing, Azure helps you set up a SharePoint farm you can use to develop SharePoint applications, test for capacity and performance, or create an IT pro proof-of-concept configuration for learning and experimentation prior to deploying SharePoint in
Creating dev-test environments that mimic production often present challenges due to scalability and complexity, especially for hybrid applications and workloads. Azure makes it easy to create a cross-premises virtual network that connects to and extends your on-premises network.
There’s a simpler way to speed up the process of creating a dev-test environment. Azure makes it easy to create virtual machines and network them together—the first steps in creating your own dev-test environment.
Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) are a great place to start exploring dev-test capabilities in the cloud.
Dev-test in Azure is ideal for collaborative teams and gives you agile management over your environment.
