Quote:Lower prices also announced today for developers

Microsoft has decided to rename Visual Studio Online approximately one year after the company first announced it at the Build developer conference.

From now on, Visual Studio Online will be known as Codespaces, as Microsoft says that it noticed developers don’t just see this service as an “editor in the browser.”

Have a name that makes more sense overall was the right way to go, so starting today, Codespace is the service that developers can turn to for coding in their browsers.

“To better align with that sentiment, and the true value of the service, we’re renaming Visual Studio Online to Visual Studio Codespaces. (It’s true what they say, naming is hard!) Do you want a great experience working on your long-term project? Do it in a Codespace. Need to quickly prototype a new feature or perform some short-term tasks (like reviewing pull requests)? Create a Codespace! Your Codespaces are simply the most productive space to code,” the company explains.

Reduced prices
Another important announcement concerns the pricing for Visual Studio Codespaces.

Beginning next week, the service is some 50 percent more affordable, with the price for the standard Linux instance dropped from $0.45 per hour to just $0.17 per hour. Furthermore, if you choose the Premium server with 8 cores and 16 GB of RAM, then the price is reduced from $0.87 to $0.34 beginning the next week.

“We want to make sure as many people as possible have access to and use Codespaces, especially given the challenges we all currently face. To make that a reality, we’re lowering our prices over the course of the next week,” Microsoft says.

A Basic instance type also goes live next week with even lower prices. With 2 cores and 4 GB of RAM, the new option will be available beginning next week for $0.08 per hour.
