Summary

Adding a devcontainer would be useful for anyone that doesn't want to have to install applications like node or other tooling directly on their machines & would also enable development and testing in CodeSpaces or using a Remote Container Host.

Also it would be useful to have a dsc configuration as well as winget configurations for this as well.
