Other cloud development possibilities
There are other tools and environments possible to leverage in cloud-based development. This section covers some other options that you may want to consider for your projects, or at least be aware of.
Cloud virtual machines
Another way to develop in the cloud is by using virtual machines. We saw in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 how to use an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from AWS Marketplace for development. We learned how to use ssh
to connect to the AWS EC2 instance and run applications such as the machine learning examples on the Corstone-300 Fixed Virtual Platform.
One thing we didn’t cover is using VS Code in the AMI for development work. There are two common ways to use VS Code with a virtual machine.
One way is to use an ssh
connection. The VS Code Remote SSH extension can make the connection to a remote virtual machine. Various articles for connecting VS Code to a remote machine via ssh
are available, and we recommend searching...
