Visual Studio and AX7

Hi everyone,

I’m new in AX7 but no in AX 2012. My actual company have AX 2012 and we want to move to AX7 and I’m a little lost about this.

The visual studio must be installed locally?

How can I connect my visual studio to a AX7?

I have read that there are 2 ways, directly to the development environment in azure or downloading the DEV environment into a VM in a local machine?

When I finish to develop something in the DEV environment how can I move this to the live?

Thank you very much!
