2. Getting Started

Gather Details: Tenant ID & Environment#

You will need access to a Dynatrace tenant. If you do not have access, sign up for a free 15 day trial.

Make a note of your Dynatrace tenant ID. It is the first bit of your URL (eg. abc12345 in the following examples):

https://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com
https://abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com

Make a note of your "environment type" based on your URL.

If you are unsure, use live.

URL	Environment Type
abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com	live
abc12345.live.dynatrace.com	live
abc12345.sprint.dynatracelabs.com	sprint
abc12345.dev.dynatracelabs.com	dev

devcontainer up

It will take a few moments but you should see:

{"outcome":"success","containerId":"...","remoteUser":"root","remoteWorkspaceFolder":"/workspaces/obslab-k6"}

Connect to the demo environment. This will launch a new Visual Studio Code window
```
