  3. Once you have a plan, click the "Create codespace" button at the center of the screen. (Note: if you already have VSO codespaces, this button will be located at the top right of the screen.)

    • For "Instance Type" the "Standard (Linux): 4 cores, 8 GB RAM" Sku will work just fine.
    • Choose the 30 Minutes idle time (The deployment process takes ~15 minutes)
    • You don't need to change the "Dotfiles"
