Visual Studio Code has emerged as the go-to remote development tool in many areas far outside the Microsoft-centric developer ecosystem.

Amazon Web Services offers up a remote development setup for Visual Studio Code developers that involves an SSH connection to leverage the AWS Cloud9 IDE and other functionality.

Remote - SSH: Provides connection to a remote machine (or virtual machine) using SSH. Once connected to a remote location, the developer can interact with files and folders on the remote filesystem.

While the Remote Extensions already enabled to code "remotely" using a local VS Code frontend, that requires dealing with SSH or HTTPS configuration, which admittedly is not entirely desirable.
