Communicating with the instance


The instance we booted was assigned the default security group. Edits made to a security group are immediately applied to the instances operating in them. We just added the ping and SSH rules to allow incoming traffic to the instances running in the default security group, so you should be able to ping and SSH to the instance you launched. Here is the output summary:
