Usage instructions
To get started with the product, launch the instance using the suggested security group rules (Inbound from 8080 and 3389).
Connecting via Web Interface
Using your browser, navigate to http://52.2.3.4:8080 (replace 52.2.3.4 with the Instance's public IP). The user name is ubuntu and the password is the instance ID.
Connecting via RDP client
Using your favorite RDP client, connect to the instance public IP, if asked use the default port 3389. The user name is ubuntu and the password is the instance ID.
Additional considerations
- If using only one connection method make sure you remove the Security Group rule that allows the other method, to improve security. If you using only RDP client, you can delete the rule for port 8080 and if only using Web Interface delete the rule 3389
- You can change the password in the Ubuntu interface
- You can also use the private IP of the instances, in case you are in a corporate environment with proper connectivity.
- Perform regular backups (EBS Snapshots) of your instances
