Log in to the AMI appliance

You can log in to the system over SSH. Use the following command to SSH to the AMI appliance:

# ssh -i PRIVATE_KEY.pem ADMIN_USER@PUBLIC_DNS

You must specify the fully-qualified path of the .pem file for the key pair that you specified when you launched the instance, the default administrator user name, and the public DNS name of the instance.

For example:

# ssh -i my-key-pair-useast.pem admin@ec2-187-73-18-214.compute-1.amazonaws.com
[admin@ec2-187-73-18-214 ~]$
