Now that you’ve deployed your EC2 instance, you can log in to it like any other Linux host. The procedure varies based on the client OS you are using (Windows or macOS/Linux). Establish a connection and have a look around in your new instance.
If you stopped your EC2 instance previously, please make sure to start it first. If your instance is not started, you won’t be able to log in to your instance.
