Microsoft Dev Box

Microsoft Dev Box provides developers self-service access to ready-to-code cloud workstations. Organizations can configure environments using YAML image definitions, custom Azure Compute Gallery images, or Azure Marketplace images. Developers can manage multiple boxes through a portal for separate projects, workloads, or tasks. Administrators can use autostop schedules and hibernation to control costs, and each provisioned box automatically enrolls in Microsoft Intune. Identity uses Microsoft Entra ID, with optional on-premises Active Directory Domain Services support; disks are encrypted by default with a platform-managed key. Network choices include Microsoft-hosted connections and customer-managed Azure networks. Users can connect with Windows App on listed desktop and mobile systems or through a browser. Windows Subsystem for Linux is supported for Linux development scenarios. Dev Box is in maintenance mode, with no additional features planned, and Microsoft recommends Windows 365 for virtualized developer environments. The service fully retires at 17:00 UTC on September 18, 2028; its closing-down period begins at 16:00 UTC on September 14, 2026. It requires work or school accounts, not personal accounts or guest access through Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration.
