Visual Studio Code Remote-SSH

Sun Dec 1 08:10:00 MST 2024

I'm not sure you're understanding what I meant when I said
"key-authentication" .... You've mentioned a few times in response to that,
that you're on a local network.

I'm referring to SSH Keys, so you can quickly authenticate to any of your
VMs without a password.

Let me know if you have any questions.
