Azure Arc-enabled machines for Visual Studio Code (Preview)

Please note that this extension is in preview, and is very much a work-in-progress with this first release. Please give it a try and file issues in our GitHub repository for any bugs, feature requests and questions!

Overview

This Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension provides a seamless experience for managing and working with Azure Arc-enabled machines directly from VS Code.

Azure Arc-enabled machines allows you to manage your Windows and Linux physical servers and virtual machines hosted outside of Azure, on your corporate network, or other cloud provider.

Features

• View Azure Arc-enabled machines: Easily view all your Azure Arc-enabled machines in the VS Code sidebar.
• Connect to Azure Arc-enabled machines: Quickly connect to your Azure Arc-enabled machines via SSH without a public IP address.

Getting Started

1. Install the extension: Download the extension from the VS Code marketplace.
2. Sign in to Azure: Use the Azure: Sign In command from the command palette (F1 > Azure: Sign In).
3. Select your subscription: Select the Azure subscription you want to use for your Azure Arc-enabled machines.
