I thought about creating an AMI for AWS that uses code-server instead of Cloud9.

Theres a great tool by cdr that uses ssh to prepare and launch a VScode environment. Works great in conjunction with AWS ec2 tools like the awscli.

right, this is something like what VSCode has built in, except rather than hosting all of VSCode on the remote server, it splits itself into a thin client on your host and a server backend on the remote machine. You can use SSH, or my preference is a local container.
