Connect to Instances

To connect by using a terminal on Linux, macOS, or Windows Subsystem for Linux:

  • Open your terminal, and enter the command ssh username@172.xx.xx.xx
    Substitute in your instance’s Elastic IP address after the @. The default username can be seen from the Instance details:

  • Press ENTER and answer yes to the prompt that confirms the connection.
  • When you’ve logged in, your command prompt changes, and you’ll see a welcome screen.

NOTE: Windows users can alternatively connect with PuTTY.

 

Connect to Windows Instances

To access a Windows Instance, use the RDP protocol and an RDP client for your operating system:

Specify the Elastic IP address in the client and provide the default username and the password specified during the deployment (wizard).
