Organizations are increasingly looking for greater control over extensions within development environments. Driven by security, compliance, and internal governance requirements, teams want more visibility into how developers discover and acquire extensions.
To address these needs, we’re excited to begin previewing Private Marketplace support in Visual Studio.
Private Marketplace for Visual Studio
For organizations familiar with Private Marketplace in VS Code, Private Marketplace in Visual Studio provides a similar curated extension acquisition experience while preserving the familiar Visual Studio workflow.
With Private Marketplace for Visual Studio, organizations can:
- Host and distribute private extensions within their organization
- Centrally configure and enforce a Private Marketplace
- Control which extensions are surfaced through the Visual Studio marketplace experience
Join the Preview
We’re looking for Visual Studio administrators, security teams, and enterprise stakeholders interested in evaluating Private Marketplace and providing feedback as we prepare for broader availability.
Interested in joining?
While our immediate focus is Private Marketplace, we’re also interested in learning more about how organizations manage extensions today, the challenges they face, and the governance capabilities that matter most to them.
Whether you’re interested in Private Marketplace specifically or want to discuss your organization’s extension management and governance needs, we’d love to hear from you.
