A **development container** is a running [Docker](https://www.docker.com) container with a well-defined tool/runtime stack and its prerequisites. You can try out development containers with GitHub Codespaces or **[VS Code Remote - Containers](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers)**.
[GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces) both use this same concept to quickly create customized, cloud-based development environments accessible [from VS Code](https://aka.ms/vso-dl) or the web. _[Request access](https://github.com/features/codespaces/signup) to the Codespaces beta if you have not already._
