How do I configure a default kernel?

[paololazzari]

This is my devcontainer.json file:

{
  "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/universal:2",
  "hostRequirements": {
    "cpus": 4
  },
  "waitFor": "onCreateCommand",
  "updateContentCommand": "python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt",
  "postCreateCommand": "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y redis-server && redis-server --daemonize yes",
  "customizations": {
    "vscode": {
      "extensions": [
        "ms-toolsai.jupyter",
        "ms-python.python"
      ]
    }
  }
}

When I open a jupyter notebook with python code I have to manually select the kernel:

How do I have this picked up automatically?
