Tell us about your request The ability to select different platforms (i.e. amd64, arm64) when spinning up a Dev Environment

Which service(s) is this request for? Dev Environments

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? I have a Mac M1, but the majority of my development is done in Linux intel environments. I currently have to use either a bespoke docker image or codespaces. I would love locally running image that is managed for me, but I need to run an amd64 image and not an aarch64 one. The ability to select the platform of the image (from a list) would make this a killer feature.

Are you currently working around the issue? Currently using a bespoke Ubuntu image for development and/or codespaces

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
