+# DTS Environment
+The execution and development environments for DTS are the same, a
+[Docker](https://docs.docker.com/) container defined by our [Dockerfile](./Dockerfile).
+Using a container for the development environment helps with a few things.
+
+1. It helps enforce the boundary between the DTS environment and the TG/SUT, something
+   which caused issues in the past.
+2. It makes creating containers to run DTS inside automated tooling much easier, since
+   they can be based off of a known-working environment that will be updated as DTS is.
+3. It abstracts DTS from the server it is running on. This means that the bare-metal os
+   can be whatever corporate policy or your personal preferences dictate, and DTS does
+   not have to try to support all distros that are supported by DPDK CI.
+4. It makes automated testing for DTS easier, since new dependencies can be sent in with
+  the patches.
+5. It fixes the issue of undocumented dependencies, where some test suites require
+   python libraries that are not installed.
+6. Allows everyone to use the same python version easily, even if they are using a
+   distribution or Windows with out-of-date packages.
+7. Allows you to run the tester on Windows while developing via Docker for Windows.
+
+## Tips for setting up a development environment
+
+### Getting a docker shell
+These commands will give you a bash shell inside the container with all the python
+dependencies installed. This will place you inside a python virtual environment. DTS is
+mounted via a volume, which is essentially a symlink from the host to the container.
+This enables you to edit and run inside the container and then delete the container when
+you are done, keeping your work.
+
+```shell
+docker build --target dev -t dpdk-dts .
+docker run -v $(pwd)/..:/dpdk -it dpdk-dts bash
+$ poetry install
+$ poetry shell
+```
+
+### Vim/Emacs
+Any editor in the ubuntu repos should be easy to use, with vim and emacs already
+installed. You can add your normal config files as a volume, enabling you to use your
+preferred settings.
+
+```shell
+docker run -v ${HOME}/.vimrc:/root/.vimrc -v $(pwd)/..:/dpdk -it dpdk-dts bash
+```
+
+### Visual Studio Code
+VSCode has first-class support for developing with containers. You may need to run the
+non-docker setup commands in the integrated terminal. DTS contains a .devcontainer
+config, so if you open the folder in vscode it should prompt you to use the dev
+container assuming you have the plugin installed. Please refer to
+[VS Development Containers Docs](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers)
+to set it all up.
+
+### Other
+Searching for '$IDE dev containers' will probably lead you in the right direction.
