Microsoft Dev Box - Make The Devs AND Security Teams happy

Thursday September 19, 2024 15:20 - 16:20 CEST

Clubraum 1

Meet Dave, the Dev. Dave has been using a powerful laptop to run VMs on so he can do his work. Now Security Steve has told him they're no longer putting up with his 'against policy' methods and he needs to use VDI like everyone else. On the same host with everyone else... Dave is now complaining about slow performance, not having the tools he needs, and having only 1 session at the time. Poor Dave :(

There's a way to make both Dave and Steve happy! Introducing Microsoft Dev Box! We will discuss how this compares to other options, including Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), and why it is the better choice for organizations looking to provide their developers with a secured, self-service platform.
