This is the CloudFormation Template for creating an Ubuntu EC2 instance and deploy code-server in the browser. You can use VS Code any machine including your ipad, iphone, android mobile devices, computer, etc.

You will have to use an existing key pair. If you don't have one already, create a new key pair after selecting your desired AWS Region.

Name your new stack. You must have an existing key pair you have already created before. Instance name will be the stack name you give. Please refer the CloudFormation Template of this project for the EC2 Instance properties/Tags.

After stack creation is complete check your ec2 console for your vscode-server

Once your instance starts, you can simply navigate to the public IP address and get forwarded to a secure version of code-server, which will be proxied behind your GitHub account (the first one you log in with). Login to your GitHub account. For information on how this works, see code-server

Some additional lines added to user data in this CloudFromation template which is slightly different than the original user data.
