Please advice.
Hi Mark,
Please go to LCS to download DEV VHD:

In order to deploy your code and customizations to a runtime environment, you must create deployable packages of your solution or implementation. Deployable packages can be created by using Visual Studio dev tools or by using the build automation process that is available on build environments. These deployable packages are referred to as Application Deployable Packages or AOT Deployable Packages. After a deployable package is created, it must be uploaded to the Lifecycle Services (LCS) project's asset library. An administrator can then go to the LCS environment page and apply the package to a runtime environment using the Maintain > Apply updates tool.
docs.microsoft.com/.../create-apply-deployable-package
you need to set up a dev system in order to develop customizations. Additionally you need to set up Azure DevOps (if not done already) to store your customized codebase. And you need to configure a build pipeline to create deployable packages from your codebase.
You can deploy cloud hosted environments using your Organization's or customer subscription.
This environment has VS and a local SQL server . Map the environment to VS and get the latest code .
You can export the DB from UAT to asset library and import it as bacpac to this new environment. Build and Sync the models.
Your environment is ready now.
This can be used for development , bug fixes followed by check in.
You can create a manual package from this environment or a build pipeline to generate the package for you.
This package will be uploaded in lcs and deployed to UAT and later scheduled for PROD deployment after sign off.
