I am looking for information regarding the support of OneBox developer VMs after the full implementation of the Unified Developer Experience (link) and the change in the deployment process for such environments. I am particularly interested in the planned deprecation of LCS at the end of 2025 with the complete transition to PPAC.
Will there still be support in 2026 for: a) Cloud-hosted VM environments b) Local VM environments (VHD)
Will these environments lose support and no longer be possible to use? Are there any official announcements on this?
To be honest, Microsoft doesn't seem to have a well-defined transition plan at the moment. They've mentioned that migration will begin in 2024 also, but there's still no official or comprehensive communication available. That said, it's important for us to start assessing the potential impact and planning how infrastructure and development activities will be managed. I don't think there's any need to panic right now, but we should definitely begin preparing.
