Supported development environments

You can run any azd template, in one of the following supported development environments:

Environment Description Pros Cons Feature Stage
Local Machine via CLI Not in a container, dependencies are manually installed by you, and the project is run on your local machine. You control all dependencies. You may already have some of the dependencies installed. You don't need Docker installed. You have to manually install all dependencies. Stable
Visual Studio Code Run and debug azd templates using the Visual Studio Code extension. You can work with azd using a code editor and extension system you may already be comfortable with. Requires installing an extension. Beta
Visual Studio Run and debug azd templates using Visual Studio (preview). You can work with azd using an IDE you may already be comfortable with. Requires installing a separate preview version of Visual Studio. Beta
DevContainer / VS Code Remote - Containers Container with all dependencies installed and run on your local machine. Other than VS Code, Docker, and the Remote Containers VS Code extension, all dependencies are installed for you in the DevContainer. You need to clone the repository. The container initialization can take a long time. Beta
GitHub Codespaces Container with all dependencies installed and running on GitHub.com in the browser. All dependencies are installed without cloning the code locally. Run and debug that requires launching a web browser is currently not supported because of known limitation with GitHub Codespaces. Beta
