Summary


In this chapter, we offered step-by-step instructions on how to install, configure, and activate Docker and sandbox environments for test data, setup, and development in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Sandbox environments are very useful for developing and testing data and applications before uploading them in a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS production environment.

Sandbox environments, whether online or in Docker containers, are useful for everyone—customers, developers, and consultants—when studying and testing new product releases. They enable you to create, delete, and recreate products in a very simple way. In addition to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Docker and sandboxes are also very useful for older versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV when simulating upgrades, trying out new product releases, testing new cumulative updates, and so on.
