Introduction to Microsoft Dev Box!

Microsoft Dev Box provides developers with the ability to self-serve themselves access to ready-to-code dev boxes. These can be configured with the tools, source code, binaries etc. that developers need to hit the ground running with their development work, instead of having to wait days/weeks for security, finance, identity etc. to approve access on physical devices.

In this video, I explain what Microsoft Dev Box is, who it's built for, and how we can set up the resources required to provision Microsoft Dev Boxes. I also show you how you can connect to your Dev Box, and some pretty mind blowing things you can do with it!
