You should definitely try: Great convenience auto-connect to our EC2 instance using VScode.

In this article, I will talk about a feature of VScode (Visual Studio Code) that I am sure you will like very much. We will automatically connect to Remote Instance using the Remote SSH plug-in in VScode. We will set it once and then we will automatically connect to our EC2 instance with one click. Also, we will download and upload files without typing commands, just drag and drop files. We will create or delete files in remote EC2 instance with the help of a mouse.
If you haven’t used it before, you will love it.
Now let’s do it step by step.
