vscode remote development: What information is copied to the local machine?

19 Views Asked by At

I'm evaluating if using vscode remote development to connect and develop against an EC2 instance. We will be executing Jupyter Notebooks (or just plain python scripts) against S3/RDS data.

We would like to prevent the data from being stored persistently on the developer's local file system. This includes generated assets, logs, etc.

Does vscode Remote copy anything over to the local machine file-system?

  • I understand that regardless, the information will be in my local machine's memory (which is acceptable so long as no persistent data trail is left behind).

  • I also understand that the developer would be able to exfiltrate this data if they wanted to act maliciously. The goal is NOT to prevent that (as it's almost impossible), but we just want to provide development environments that are easy to clean up.

  • While we could accomplish this using Glue, it is overkill, expensive, and the developer experience suffers greatly. I assume the same is true of Sagemaker.
