This connectivity model lets a Microsoft service provide software-as-a-service and user licensed services as opposed to standard consumption-based services. |

After a dev box is provisioned, you can manage it like any other Windows device in Microsoft Intune. For example, you can create [device configuration profiles](/mem/intune/configuration/device-profiles) to turn different settings on and off in Windows, or push apps and updates to your users’ dev boxes. |
