Summary: Visual Studio Code Remote Development allows you to use a container, remote machine, or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as a full-featured development environment. Develop on the same operating system you deploy to or use larger or more specialized hardware.Sandbox your development environment to avoid impacting your local machine configuration.Make it easy for new contributors to get started and keep everyone on a consistent environment.Use tools or runtimes not available on your local OS or manage multiple versions of them.Develop your Linux-deployed applications using the Windows Subsystem for Linux.Access an existing development environment from multiple machines or locations.Debug an application running somewhere else such as a customer site or in the cloud.Brigit Murtaugh, a PM with VS Code, will talk through the benefits of remote development workflows and then demonstrate how to set things up using VS Code, WSL, Windows Terminal, a remote desktop machine, and a Virtual Machine (VM).
