There are two configurations to choose from: We need to create a plan before we can create environments.ĪZURE will create a Resource Group and Visual Studio Online Plan.įinally, we can create our first cloud environment. (If you don’t have one, you can try free access for 12 month). Log in using the Microsoft account to which AZURE Subscription is assigned. (Is there support for VS, but I haven’t tested it) How to do it? Through browser or locally installed VS Code with extension. No RDP and connection to virtual machine.

Do you have a weak computer? You simply create your development environment on AZURE using the VS Online.

VS Online is a cloud development environment accessible from anywhere. For such stuff my Surface is already weak. Whether it is the development of new things, prototyping or reviewing more complex PR that I want to see in the VS. I only turn on a regular laptop when I’m going to do something in a few opensource projects that I take care of. Which is a very handy little Windows 10 tablet. Maybe Microsoft still had a paid domain, so he decided to use it for the new “Cloud IDE” service. Not the DevOps, which until recently had exactly the same name (with the same domain).
