Think inside the box. Developing inside a container to avoid conflicts, improve security and speed up on-boarding

As developers, our most famous response, "it works on my machine," doesn't cut it anymore. We need a way to develop each project in environments that are as identical to production as possible. In this presentation, we learn how to use Visual Studio Code Remote Development to standardize the development environments for each project, remove the need to install third party software like Python or Node, and ensure that when it runs on "my" machine, it runs in production.

1. Developing inside a container to avoid conflicts, improve security and speed up on-boarding Think inside the box @michaeljolley
2. We’ve come a long way! Distributed apps & microservices On-prem & cloud based CI/CD processes
3. Environments “It works on my machine” Onboarding Hours to days before team members are productive Security SDK, CLI & tooling updates, conflicts, and exploits
4. Remote Development Extension for Visual Studio Code • New team members can be productive almost immediately • Develop in environments that mirror production • No third-party SDK’s, CLI’s & tooling to be installed locally Let’s try it out!
