Microsoft has launched a public preview of its Dev Box managed service for developers. Introduced at the company’s https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/events/build-2022/ developer conference in May, 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,” said https://www.linkedin.com/in/acangialosi/, Principal Group Program Manager for Visual Studio Core at Microsoft, in a https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-microsoft-dev-box-preview/.

Microsoft Dev Box supports building cross-platform apps through the Windows Subsystem for Linux and Windows Subsystem for Android.
