Installing the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code - Hypertopic/Steatite GitHub Wiki

You will find below a PDF extracted from the AWS documentation that shows how to install the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.

Here it is : aws-tookit-vscode-ug.pdf

We will follow the different parts of the doc and mark up what is more important linked to Steatite v7.

Each part of the bullet list will be formed like this "Number of the page • Part of the document", for exemple "Page 2 • Optional"

  • Page 2 • Optional : In our case, you can download the Node.js SDK because we use Node.js in our project.
  • Page 2 • Optional : We also downloaded the AWS SAM CLI in order to "develop, test, and analyze" our serverless application locally. With this feature, you can execute commands in the terminal in order for exemple to upload a function modified locally on AWS Lambda that is distant.
  • Page 3 • Optional : We used the npm package manager to work with Node.js.
  • Page 3 • Install the Toolkit for VS Code : Here is what you should see when you type "AWS Toolkit" in the search bar in the extensions submenu.

  • Page 4 • Establishing credentials for the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code : Just follow the tutorial that explain clearly what you have to do.
  • Page 9 • Connecting to AWS through the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code : Same as the part before.
  • Page 13 • Add a Region to the AWS Explorer : In this case, we selected the region eu-west-3

Region eu-west-3 found after searching in the AWS region search bar in VS Code

Here is the result on the AWS menu :

All features attached to the account used in AWS and the region used (here eu-west-3)

Eveything is configured now ! You can go through the different topics of the documentation we used in order to work with different features such as Lambda.
