Update: Azure Dev Spaces retired 15 May 2021

**\*Note: [Dev Spaces was retired on 15 May 2021](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/azure-dev-spaces-retired-on-may-15-2021/) as there were no longer any users on this service. Original notification copy released 13 October 2020 found below with the previously scheduled dates.** [Bridge to Kubernetes](https://aka.ms/bridge-to-k8s-ga) provides a lighter-weight alternative to many of the development scenarios that Azure Dev Spaces supports. It is a client-only experience offered through extensions in [Visual Studio](https://aka.ms/migrate-to-bridge-vs) and [Visual Studio Code](https://aka.ms/migrate-to-bridge-vsc). Bridge to Kubernetes provides an improved experience with enhanced capabilities, and as such, Azure Dev Spaces will retire on 31 October 2023\. **How does this affect me?** After 31 October 2023, Azure Dev Spaces will no longer be supported, and all projects using Azure Dev Spaces will no longer function. **What action should I take?** Transition to Bridge to Kubernetes.
