Cloud Instance

You receive a dedicated training instance in a cloud sponsored by DataStax. Every training instance has a unique address like wksXXXXXXXX.k8s-workshop.datastaxtraining.com (ID and workshop name may vary). You can connect to the instance using SSH connection OR using the shell in a browser we have installed for you. In the first case, you will need a CLI terminal like iTerm or Putty, in the second one you need only a browser.

In both cases, you will need a username and password:

Username: ec2-user
password: datastax

SSH Connection

ssh ec2-user@<YOURADDRESS>

Web-Based Connection

Just open the in a browser and open the first link!

Test

To check if it's all set, execute the command kubectl get nodes. If you have an output similar to this, you are good to go.
