Opening the Data Gate on Cloud user interface

The user interface (UI) of your Data Gate on Cloud instance is running on the OpenShift® cluster, inside a private subnet on AWS. That means that the UI is not directly accessible from the public internet. To access it from a local machine, you must create a proxy virtual machine first.

1. On AWS, go to EC2 > Instances.
2. Click Launch instances.
3. Under Application and OS Images, select the desired operating system.
4. Under Instance type, select the resources that you want to use.
5. Under Key pair, select a key pair from the Key pair name field, or create a new key pair for accessing the virtual machine.
6. Make sure to select the VPC that was created by the main (first) CloudFormation template in the same availability zone in which the Data Gate on Cloud instance was installed.
7. Click Launch instance and wait until the instance is running.
8. Once your virtual machine is running, click Connect.
9. Use a remote connection client that supports the operating system of your virtual machine and connect using the metadata file or the decrypted password.
   You might need to download a file with the virtual machine connection metadata as well as upload the key pair file to decrypt the administrator password for that virtual machine.
10. Inside the virtual machine, open a browser and type the following string in the address field:

    https://<domain name of the endpoint you just created>/console
