Visual Studio Online is now in preview

Visual Studio Online, first introduced at Build 2019, has now entered preview. It brings together the family of Visual Studio developer tools, Azure-hosted developer environments and a browser-based editor that’s accessible from anywhere to help developers be more productive than ever. As development becomes more collaborative and open-source workflows, such as pull requests, become more popular, developers need to be able to switch between codebases and projects quickly without losing productivity. Visual Studio Online enables a developer to spin up a powerful, isolated, pre-configured development environment for a repo and be productive in minutes from anywhere. Visual Studio Online’s cloud-hosted environments, its browser-based editor, as well as extensions for Visual Studio Code, are now available. Support for Visual Studio 2019 is in private preview, which you can also [sign up for](https://www.visualstudio.com/). Developers can create Visual Studio Online environments directly from Visual Studio Code, or from [the Visual Studio blog](https://online.visualstudio.com/). These environments are provisioned in Azure and securely connected to your development tool. It’s also possible to attach your own physical or virtual machines to Visual Studio Online.
