I used to have the Docker and Docker DX extensions installed in VS Code, but I recently got a notice that they're being replaced by Container Tools and Dev Containers, both from Microsoft. Is that true? I've disabled Docker and Docker DX—should I go ahead and uninstall them? I primarily use these extensions to catch errors in my Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml files.

If you're curious about what changes are happening, the Docker team has released some details on their blog. There’s a lot of good info about how Docker DX enhances linting and supports compose files better than before. Check it out for more insights!
Yeah, you got it right! The new Container Tools from Microsoft are designed to replace the older Docker extensions. I’ve been uninstalling Docker and Docker DX and switching to the new tools without any issues. They handle everything you need for development with containers now.
Totally! I’ve tried the new dev containers feature, and it generated all the necessary Docker and Compose files for me automatically. It’s a pretty smooth transition. Just make sure you’re up-to-date on the latest version for the best experience.
