Setup Microsoft Dev Box quickly from our getting started page

The Dev Box team has been working hard to streamline the onboarding process for Dev Box administrators and platform engineers, especially for situations when you’re unsure of all the necessary steps. In this blog, we are introducing a page in the Azure portal that will serve as a starting point for you to begin the Dev Box creation process.

Introducing the Microsoft Dev Box pre-requisites page, designed to guide IT administrators and platform engineers through the essential steps needed to set up a Dev Box. This page provides the necessary guidance before diving into creating developer cloud machines for your Dev teams. It includes links to all pre-requisite requirements and documentation to get you started quickly.

The pre-requisites page offers a comprehensive checklist, including:

  1. Enabling Microsoft 365 licenses
  2. Configuring Microsoft Intune
  3. Setting up the firewall for Microsoft Dev Box
  4. Increasing quota as a recommendation

Each step links to detailed documentation, making it easy to follow and implement. We hope you enjoy the new experience of getting started with creating a Dev Box!
