Open the command prompt window.
-
Start your instance using the AWS CLI command. You will need your instance ID from the Launch Your EC2 Instance section.
Note: The placeholders in the code that are tagged by "<>" should be revised to match your information such as IP address, AMI ID, Instance ID, etc.
aws ec2 start-instances --instance-ids <instance id>
-
After a few minutes, run the following command to check the status of your EC2 instance.
Note: The placeholders in the code that are tagged by "<>" should be revised to match your information such as IP address, AMI ID, Instance ID, etc.aws ec2 describe-instance-status --instance-ids <instance id>
-
Verify that all Status values are “passed”. If either Status shows “initializing”, wait a few minutes and repeat the command until both Status’ show “passed”.
-
In most cases, AWS will assign a new public IP address to your EC2 instance. Refer to the Get Public IP Address of EC2 Instance section for instructions to query an instance’s public IP address.
Note: You can use the same Windows administrator password to log on to your EC2 instance via Remote Desktop Connection.
