    Click View Instances to return to the instances page.
    On the Instances page, you can view the status of the launch. It can take a few minutes for the instance to be ready so that you can connect to it. Check that your instance has passed its status checks. You can view this information in the Status Checks column.
    Once the instance is ready, select the instance and note down the IPv4 Public IP found in the Descriptions tab at the bottom.

    Connect to the instance using SSH. You may refer to the instructions in the third exercise for connecting
 to the instance.

the values for Access Key Id and Secret Access Key.

    You should see a JSON output with all the information of the Amazon EC2 instances in your account.
This means that you were able to successfully execute the AWS CLI command with the permissions attached
 to the edXProjectUser.
