This quickstart takes you through the process of setting up your Dev Box environment. You create a dev center to organize your dev box resources, configure network components to enable dev boxes to connect to your organizational resources, and create a dev box definition that will form the basis of your dev boxes. You then create a project and a dev box pool, which work together to help you give access to users who will manage or use the dev boxes.
