Trying this out, and a word of caution if you use the SSH provider: it does not check host SSH keys, which is sort of a no-no:

    [15:25:45] debug Run command provider command: ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no

It also seems to rely on the remote server having passwordless sudo, which is... interesting.

Edit: I've managed to make it work with my own solution (https://github.com/rcarmo/azure-dev-bootstrap). It works OK, but since I'm used to provisioning the back-end boxes by myself and using VS Code Remote, there's little practical difference (also, my setup adds the dev box to my Tailscale network).

Would be really nice if the baseline SSH provider (and assumptions as to how the remote SSH server is set up) were fixed, and if I could get it to work on an iPad with Blink shell (edge use case, I know, but I do use that a lot, or just an RDP on Linux desktop).

Oh, and add B-series VMs to the Azure provider. For burstable use like coding, testing, etc., those are much more cost effective.
