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.

November 2022 release of the code editor previews a remote tunneling capability that allows developers to securely connect to their VS Code machine from any device anywhere.

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.

You can run VS Code on Windows, macOS, and of course on a Raspberry Pi. One of the extensions that helps here is the Remote SSH extension, part of a pack of remote development extensions.

Remote debugging in Visual Studio allows you to step through code, set breakpoints, review objects, inspect the stack, and catch errors on a remote server just as if you were running the code locally.
