**Abstract**

In this session, we will see how to get started with Dev Containers in Visual Studio Code – with a focus on PowerShell.

Dev Containers make it possible to onboard new team or project members instantly, as everything needed to get started contributing is available from a common image.

It also has benefits outside of team projects, as it provides advantages such as isolation and running different versions of the same software on the same machine.
