If you are stuck, more detailed information is in the extension’s details. After that, you’ll see it came with others that you can happily remove: Remote – Containers and WSL.
#Aws for visual studio install#
Once you have VS Code, also install the Remote Development (by Microsoft) extension pack. The remote development works just fine with the regular version, that comes with the blue icon. I chose Visual Studio Code Insiders edition, which is cutting-edge with more frequent updates, and a green icon. If you haven’t already, download VS Code (one of their installers). Find it among optional features and click Install. If you don’t see OpenSSH Client in the list, then click Add a feature. Search the Start Menu for Manage optional features. There is a built-in SSH client, but it used to be hidden by default.
Host (aws-ec2) is just a name that will appear in VS Code (as window title and connection indicator in the lower-left corner).Save it as an extensionless file called config in the C:\Users\Example\.ssh\ folder, same as above.
IdentityFile C:\Users\Example\.ssh\aws-example-user.pem If you are worried about the code not being at your fingertips… Regular automated backups offer peace of mind (you should be doing that on local development anyway).You’ll have a terminal and access to the AWS EC2 instance via SSH. Bash commands from tutorials or GitHub will suddenly make way more sense and work well on the server.Amazon servers are probably more robust than your computer.You can point a development domain at the server, so no more localhost, dynamic IP by your ISP, or port forward hassles to show your progress to clients and colleagues.You’ll be able to work from different machines since all your VS Code workspace settings are stored remotely.Things are super fast as you get to choose the physical location of the server, keeping the latency low (at least on AWS).All your code will exist in an environment that could closely match production.
#Aws for visual studio how to#
So what is my setup to code WordPress plugins? I’ll teach you how to start remote development with Visual Studio Code on Amazon EC2. Let’s get you into developing in the cloud! Shall we? Long gone are the days of installing a local XAMPP stack and writing code in Sublime Text.
