Azure network connections enable dev boxes to communicate with your organization's network. The network connection provides a link between the dev center and your organization's virtual networks. In the network connection, you define how a dev box joins Microsoft Entra ID. Use a Microsoft Entra join to connect exclusively to cloud-based resources, or use a Microsoft Entra hybrid join to connect to on-premises resources and cloud-based resources.

Dev box definitions define the configuration of the dev boxes that are available to users. You can use an image from Azure Marketplace, like the **Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise on Windows 11 Enterprise + Microsoft 365 Apps 22H2** image. Or you can create your own custom image and store it in [Azure Compute Gallery](how-to-configure-azure-compute-gallery.md). Specify a SKU with compute and storage to complete the dev box definition.
