VS Code Remote-SSH to AWS Instance

Question

Is it possible to connect SSH within VS Code (for MacOS) to my AWS instance?

I would like to use it the same way I do with docker containers. Modify my code inside the AWS instance and use the same compute power.

Thanks

HOW TO CONNECT TO AWS INSTANCE (EC2)

1. Open Visual Studio Code and install extension - 'Remote - SSH'
2. After installation click the green link icon bottom left of the VSC to 'Open a remote window'
3. Select 'Remote-SSH: Connection to host...
4. Add new SSH host
5. Type ubuntu@hostname_or_ip
6. Select the '/root/.shh/config'
7. Edit the config file

See my example

#Read more about SSH config files: https://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config

Host <enter hostname>
    HostName <enter hostname>
    User ubuntu
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mypemfile.pem
