SSH into Remote VM with VS Code | Tunneling into any cloud | GCP Demo

Are you wondering how to open a remote folder in VS Code via SSH?
That's exactly what we show you in this video. With this approach you can use Visual Studio Code on your local machine but store and run your source code on a remote machine on literally any cloud. In this live demo we are creating a virtual machine on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and SSH into it.

Note: If you use VMs with ephemeral IP addresses your host keys in the file ~/.ssh/known_hosts may become invalid on VM restarts. In this case you can delete the line with your VMs IP address from the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file and then connect to your VM.

Guys, I tried N tutorials, even one where the SDK itself created the .config and only this one worked. Thank you man, you are incredible.

[dravitch]

Thanks man. I was about the become crazy trying to figure out the Google Cloud documentation. Your tuto is simple and crystal clear.

Thank you, it worked! I did copy the gcloud command but it didn't work, maybe some error with the ssh key. But I manually created the key and added it into the VM instance and It worked instantly. Thanks a lot!

I spent about a week trying to do this. My issue was specifically generating the SSH key and then adding the IdentityFile line. Thank you so much.

[JardanySvidrigailov]

[markphilipsy]

[tsykin]

Awesome tutorial, but I still have an issue where I'm unable to write the files because I don't seem to have permissions... not sure how to fix ;(

Hello, I tried all the steps to connect to a VM in GCP via VS code on my mac book, but getting this error "Could not establish connection to "VM NAM": The operation timed out. Any help would be much appreciated.

[peshotod]

Thank you it works fine.But it is little bit tricky.If you want to connect to the existing VM make sure you put exact same name as it is on your existing VM at the end of the private key.Otherwise will create sibling on your existing vm and you will not be able to access the ubuntu existing files.

can i use more than 1 host like remote-ssh-demo1 and remote-ssh-demo2 with different ssh key ?

[shauryatiwari]

Tried all the steps mentioned in the video, but still getting the error "could not establish conection to " and sometimes permission denied "publickey".

[qcnlrdz]

After all manipulations, i get error "could not establish to "my ssh""
Detail: I use ssh on host of site
