Hi,

I just want to ask if is it possible to downloads the development VM.

This could save us money if we allow our developer to host the development VM internally in our server.

Thanks,

JazZ

Yes, it is possible. You can download it from Shared asset Library in LCS (switch to Downloadable VHS files).

Hi JazZ0003,

As Martin said, you could download VHD in the Shared Asset library of LCS.

Please check the document:

Hi will,

I just want to verify, I'm really not familiar on the development architecture of D365.

I just want to check if its true that the development VM also contain an instance of D365? which require like 4Core & 32GB RAM to run on premise? That what our partner told us, thus they require it to be hosted in Azure instead.

I really thought the development VM only contains Visual Studio which just connect to team service or D365 dev instance.

Hi Jazz,

It is more common to download a VM and use it locally. The local development VM does contain a D365FO instance, so you do need to allocate some performance to it. There is no official recommendation here, 4Core & 32GB RAM sounds good.

I think you need to pay more attention to disk speed, it has a bigger impact on runtime. There is a blog that has tested and compared the performance of different configurations of development environments, you can take a look:

hi JazZ0003,

I am using VHD for Development. It will work properly with 4Core and 32 GB RAM. If you will use below that then you will face little slowness and your visual studio will get in the "Not responding" state frequently. I faced that problem when I started development then I have increased. I have also read somewhere that recommended configuration is 16Core and 56 GB RAM.
