This resulted in four potential images, from which I selected the one named “Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 Update 3 with Universal Windows Tools and Azure SDK 2.9 on Windows 10 Enterprise N (圆4)”. I selected an image from the Azure Marketplace by searching for the string “windows 10 visual studio 2015”. There are a number of different Visual Studio VMs with various combinations of Windows operating systems and Visual Studio types and releases. Microsoft makes a variety of VM images available with various Microsoft software products pre-installed. The first thing I did was spin up a Windows 10 VM running Visual Studio 2015. So my starting point is a clean subscription with no extant resources. I couldn’t remember anything about them and there was no point in keeping them around. THe first thing I did was clean out all my old Azure resources, all the storage and VMs that I had created in past investigations with Azure. Keep in mind that up to this point I’d had very little hand’s on with Azure, and all of that experience was several years old – before the new Azure Resource Manager existed. Spinning up a Windows 10 Visual Studio system in Azure The rest of this post describes what I did, with enough detail to help you do something similar.
Though, as with almost everything in computing, the implementation of that solution was a bit more complex than immediately apparent. Great idea, in theory-and also, it turns out, in practice. It seems possible, as a colleague brilliantly suggested, that I could just run a Windows 10 VM in Azure and RDP to that VM in the class. And I do have an Azure subscription because my company provides an MSDN subscription for each developer, and that comes with an Azure subscription with a $150 monthly credit. I do have a Mac laptop that I use for travel and meetings and remote access-just not for slinging code for my day job. I use a desktop system for development (along with a host of Windows servers). For the class I need an active Azure subscription and a Windows machine running Visual Studio and Docker Toolbox. To help improve my understanding, I’m scheduled to participate in a training class from Microsoft called “Containers for Developers and IT Pros”.
