Accessing the PuppyGraph Instance

After the instance is initiated, it will be visible in the EC2 Console.

Make sure to record the following details, as you will need them:

• Instance ID. This is the default password of the instance i-00495ec4e0949ab33.
• Public IPv4 address. The PuppyGraph instance is accessible there.

EC2 Console

Access the PuppyGraph UI by navigating to the public address on port 8081. For example, based on the previously mentioned instance, the address would be http://54.159.67.219:8081.

Sign into PuppyGraph using the default username puppygraph and the default password (EC2 Instance ID).
