Lab as Code has been Containerlab's motto since the beginning. And where do most people code? Right, in vim.

Ok, kidding. The VS Code IDE is likely the most popular DevEx tool humanity has produced. And something that makes VS Code so powerful is its extensibility through extensions.

Thanks to the talented colleagues and open source enthusiasts, we have gotten ourselves a Containerlab VS Code extension, and this one is a beauty.

It can:

install containerlab
manage lab lifecycle
open up node's SSH and linux shells
list interfaces and their statuses
list running labs
graphing running labs with differnet tools
managing link impairments
starting traffic capture
and a lot more
from the comfort of your IDE.

Give it a go, it is worth its money, which is $0 by the way.
