## Detailed procedure: Setting eShopOnContainers up in a Visual Studio 2017 development machine
Visual Studio 2017 with its built-in Docker Tools adds a number of very convenient features which are solid reasons why you'd want to use VS 2017 when developing Docker container based applications. The most important features are:
Visual Studio 2017 provides built-in Docker Tools with features like:
* Docker-compose support
* Multi-container debugging, supporting true microservice scenarios
* Windows Server Containers for .NET Framework apps
* Addition of CI build definition using a docker-compose.ci.build.yml file at the solution level.
* Configure Continuous Integration experience for setting up CI/CD with VSTS to Azure Container Services
* Linux Docker Containers (usually, for .NET Core apps)
* Windows Docker Containers (usually for .NET Framework apps)
Being the first one (Multi-container debugging, supporting true microservice scenarios) the most loved feature, probably.
So, here's how to setup a VS 2017 environment where you can test eShopOnContainers.
### GitHub branch to use
