linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 platforms debian and ubuntu.

We can install packages from conda-forge using conda or mamba. For example, install specific version of Pytnon as follows:

mamba install -y python=3.7

This Feature is similar to ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/conda, but differs in options and arm64 platform support.

The ghcr.io/mamba-org/devcontainer-features/micromamba Feature installs only micromamba, a single binary command line tool. micromamba is lightweight, so installation is quick.

If you do not need Conda, Mamba (which exist on top of Python) or Python by default, the micromamba Feature may be a better choice.

Change the default value of variant from "Mambaforge" to "Miniforge3", sinse as of 2024-07-21, Mambaforge is deprecated. See the official announcement: Sunsetting Mambaforge
