What's Next
- Go to the newly created instance and edit Security Group rules; see the virtual appliances (VA) network requirements.
- The vmadmin password can be reset by doing remote SSH via the public IP as port 3389 is allowed by default.
- If the instance does not have a public IP, a Bastion host has to be created in the same region to access it via Private IP as per Alibaba documentation.
- Please note that connecting to the VA through the Alibaba Cloud workbench will fail due to the change password prompt, so the first time password reset has to happen via SSH.
- Once the password is reset, the Alibaba workbench can be used to login to the console.
- After the password is set, you can SSH to the VA via the ECS Workbench as well.
