Online and Container-Based Sandboxes

Dynamics 365 Business Central allows us to set up sandboxes for development and testing purposes. There are two general options for these sandboxes: online sandboxes (SaaS-based) and Docker-based sandboxes (self-deployed).

Online sandboxes can be created very easily because they run as a service, which is the same as Dynamics 365 Business Central production environments. The only requirement is an existing production tenant.

Docker-based sandboxes are based on Docker containers and can run either on Azure or on-premise.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Creating online sandboxes
  • The basics of Docker images and containers and how to work with them
  • Setting up local Docker environments
  • Mastering the navcontainerhelper PowerShell utility
  • Choosing the right Docker image for your development purposes
  • Creating your own Docker image...
