Connecting to a Cloud Machine
The first time you connect to a cloud machine you must log in as Administrator.
You can then add the credentials under which you log in to the vRealize Automation console as a user on
the machine, and log in under your vRealize Automation credentials from that point on.
Important If you are using Amazon Web Services, RDP, or SSH must be enabled on the Amazon
machine instance and the machines must be in a security group in which the correct ports are open.
