- Launch TrueStack Direct Connect from the Marketplace.
- Ensure the instance gets a public IP. Change it to an elastic IP later (see below).
- Be sure the instance is part of the TrueStack Security Group.
- Find the public IP from the description tab of the EC2 instance. Open a browser and copy the public IP into the address bar.
- The IP should redirect to a Truestack web address. It takes about 3 minutes for the instance to load and the url to appear. This is the address you can use in the future to access your interface.
