The virtual network specified in a network connection also determines the region for the dev box. You can create multiple network connections based on the regions where you support developers and use them when creating different dev box pools to ensure dev box users create a dev box in a region close to them. Using a region close to the dev box user provides the best experience.

A dev box is a preconfigured ready-to-code workstation that you create through the self-service developer portal. The new dev box has all the tools, binaries, and configuration required for a dev box user to be productive immediately. You can create and manage multiple dev boxes to work on multiple work streams. As a dev box user you have control over your own dev boxes - you can create more as you need them, and delete them when you have finished using them.

Microsoft Dev Box gives you self-service access to high-performance, preconfigured, and ready-to-code cloud-based workstations called dev boxes. You can set up dev boxes with the tools, source code, and pre-built binaries specific to your project, so you can immediately start work. Whether you’re a developer, tester, or QA professional, you can use dev boxes in your day-to-day workflows.
