Kill VS Code Servers:
Originally, you have to do "Remote-SSH: Kill VS Code Server on Host ..." and "Remote-SSH: Kill Local Connection Server For Host..." each time before you connect to the container.
Instead, we can modify RemoteCommand as: systemctl --user stop singularity.scope ; sleep 2 ;systemd-run --user --scope --unit=singularity.scope bash -c "singularity shell /mnt/home/grosscra/tensorflow_latest-gpu-jupyter.sif"
So each time we connect to the container, the previous VS Code server instance associated with the singularity.scope will be stopped, and a new VS Code server will be launched automatically inside the tensorflow_latest-gpu-jupyter.sif singularity container.
