I recently received a notification...
ACTION REQUIRED: Changes to Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access to Tier 1 environments for Dynamics 365 operations applications
Summary
As communicated previously, Microsoft is removing the use of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to access environments managed by Microsoft. As RDP access is required for development, going forward customers will be required to develop using a Cloud Hosted Environment or download a local “Virtual Hard Disk” (VHD) within Lifecycle Services. Cloud Hosted Environments will allow customers to manage the compute, size, and cost of these environments. This infrastructure change will ensure that customers decouple development tools from any running environment.
Etc.
What sticks out is the statement in bold above. I'm relatively new to DX development and have been dev'ing in a VM which has more pluses than minuses. My understanding is that the VM route was the standard but knew you run the VHD (and I have) locally. Is anyone ( or teams) using the VHD approach for developing production functionality? Are there any setup differences from running in a VM?
Thanks.
James
