I see what you mean but I'm a little hesitant to add those kind of
details to the test case. It might be better to have a separate wiki
page for "getting started with EC2" instructions. I'll look around to
see if there is already a page like that.

It's been a while since I first created my account, so I had forgotten
about that.

I wonder if your security group is set up to allow SSH. By default, no
traffic is allowed from outside EC2.

I'm honestly not sure how to do that, will look into whether or not
it's possible, though.

Thanks,
