Docker and Microsoft have collaborated on a new Docker DX extension for Visual Studio Code to enhance support for developers building containerized applications.
The original Docker extension in VS Code is being migrated to the new Container Tools extension maintained by Microsoft for better container development experience directly in VS Code.
The new Docker DX extension introduces features like Dockerfile linting, image vulnerability remediation, Bake file support, and Compose file outline to streamline container development.
Upcoming developments include expanded Dockerfile checks, stronger security insights, and improved debugging and troubleshooting features. Users are encouraged to provide feedback for further improvements.
