This enables features like auto-completions, debugging, the terminal, source control, extensions you install, almost everything in Visual Studio Code runs seamlessly on the remote machine as if it was your local development workspace. With remote development, we’ve enabled all of these scenarios with remote Python interpreters and more: Visual Studio Code’s UI runs on your local machine and connects to a remote server which hosts your extensions remotely. We have heard from our Python users many different reasons why they need to work in remote workspaces: in the case of SSH their code needs access to large amounts of data, compute, GPUs, or other resources with Docker they need to be able to create and switch between development environments with complex dependencies and with WSL they may need tools and packages that are only available in a Linux environment. The ability to work with WSL and remote Python interpreters have long been the top requested features on our Python Extension GitHub page. To get started download the remote extension pack, check out the Visual Studio Code Remote documentation, and dive right in! Check out the video below for a quick tour and keep on reading to learn more! Remote-WSL: develop in workspaces running inside of Windows Subsystem for Linux.Remote-SSH: develop in workspaces running on a remote machine over an SSH connection.

Remote-Containers: develop in workspaces running inside of local docker containers.This support is currently available in Visual Studio Code Insiders builds, and is enabled by three new remote extensions in the Visual Studio Code marketplace: Today at P圜on 2019, Microsoft’s Python and Visual Studio Code team announced remote development in Visual Studio Code, enabling Visual Studio Code developers to work in development setups where their code and tools are running remotely inside of docker containers, remote SSH hosts, and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), while you still get a rich and seamless user experience locally.
