To interface with our AWS servers, where our backends and dashboard frontends are running, you can start by heading to Cornell's AWS portal at https://signin.aws.cucloud.net/ and click on EC2 to see the dashboard for our AWS servers called EC2 instances. Next click instances to see our 5 servers, including 3 production servers and 2 test servers. Click on the instance ID of the server you wish to interface with, then click "Connect", and finally "SSH client."
Now for the next step you need to have the appropriate AWS key configured on hour local machine. There are two keys—one named "DIAPER-production-key.pem" for our production servers and the other named "DIAPER-test-key.pem" for our test servers, and you can download the keys from the "AWS EC2 key files" on the Diaper confidential box. If you don't yet have access to the Box account request access from Professor Johnson. After you have the correct key on your machine you have to run the following command once before SSHing into your server of choice:
| Code Block |

sudo chmod 600 <PathToKey/KeyName.pem> |
