Connect to the cluster as a user

You can determine the status of the cluster with the following commands.

$ pcluster describe-cluster -n ad-cluster --region "region-id" --query "clusterStatus"

The output is as follows.

"CREATE_IN_PROGRESS" / "CREATE_COMPLETE"

When the status reaches "CREATE_COMPLETE", log in with the created user name and password.

$ HEAD_NODE_IP=$(pcluster describe-cluster -n "ad-cluster" --region "region-id" --query headNode.publicIpAddress | xargs echo)
$ ssh user000@$HEAD_NODE_IP

You can log in without the password by providing the SSH key that was created for the new user at /home/user000@HEAD_NODE_IP/.ssh/id_rsa.

If the ssh command succeeded, you have successfully connected to the cluster as a user that's authenticated to use the Active Directory (AD).
