Must use VS Code Extensions for anyone working on Cloud

Here are the list of VS Code extensions that anyone working on cloud technologies can use to speed up their development. 

To download any extension, refer to the extension tab on your VS code window:

As we will manage all our cloud resources using Terraform, we will start with Terraform Autocomplete Extension.

Terraform: to manage terraform resources directly from VS Code. 

Terraform Autocomplete: useful when we are creating terraform resources.

2. Docker: To build, manage and deploy docker containers from VS Code.

3. Python: extension that provides python interpreter

4. Prettier-Code formatter:

5. Markdown Preview: 

6. Git:

Now we can select the below extensions, and click on install. 

AWS VSCode Extensions:

1. AWS Toolkit: To interact with AWS resources directly from VS Code. Helpful in taking a look of AWS resources without having to login into console, provides us with a very cool UI to get a quick overview of our resources.

Upon successful installation, we can find AWS on the left toolbar as shown below:

2. AWS CLI Configure: To use the AWS profiles directly, will be very handy when we want to use multiple AWS accounts and want to manage them separately. Realtime use-case would be when we want to access AWS resources from different environments like PROD environment or DEV environment.

3. AWS boto3: boto3 is a python library that will help us communicate with AWS resources

4. Sort AWS IAM Policy: will be a lot of help when we want to prepare IAM document especially when we are dealing with too many AWS resources in the same document. Unless they are really sorted, IAM policy can quickly become a mess. 

5. AWS Step Functions Constructor: Helps us to visualize the AWS step functions directly on the VSCode, without having to check the document definition on the console.
