Accessing the cluster on the cloud

Accessing nodes within the cluster

To access a node through a bastion host using SSH, you can use the following command:

ssh -i <path_to_key> <user>@<destination_host> -o "proxycommand ssh -W %h:%p -i <path_to_key> <bastion-user>@<Bastion_host>"

Replace user with your username, bastion-user with bastion host username, bastion-host with the hostname or IP address of your bastion host, and destination-host with the hostname or IP address of the node you want to access.

This command uses the -J flag to specify the bastion host. It sets up a SSH jump connection through the bastion host to the destination host, allowing you to securely access the destination node even if it is behind a firewall or other security measures.

Accessing the IBM Storage Scale Management GUI

After the output for a cloudkit create cluster command run, the following GUI access details are displayed.
